It's claimed Rangers have a "strong interest" in Cordoba.

Cordoba has also cropped up as a potential transfer target for Besiktas and French sides - but Rangers reportedly are at the front of the queue.
Journalist Jose Miguel Dominguez Flores said: "The Rangers situation seems impressive to me. They are a team from Scotland who have money, have a project plan and always compete in Uefa Champions League from time to time and if not, they’re in the Europa or Conference League.
"It is positive for him – I hope he sees it."
