RANGERS are reportedly making enquiries for Spanish centre-back Mujaid Sadick.
The defender has been a regular in the Genk side that is currently seventh in the Belgian Pro League and were runners-up two years ago.
He’s a team-mate of former Celtic star Oh Hyeon-gyu too, so he could ask him a thing or two about the Old Firm and Scottish football.
Oh was signed by Ange Postecoglou in the winter transfer window of 2022 and made the switch to Genk after 18 months at Parkhead.
Sadick is rated at around £7million by transfermarkt and has a contract with the Belgian club until 2028.
According to transfer expert Sacha Tavolieri, Gers are considering a January move for the 6ft1 stopper.

Sadick was a youth international with Spain whilst coming through the ranks at Deportivo La Coruna before moving to Genk in 2021.
He has since played 131 times for Genk, either at centre-back or right-back.
At the moment, Gers boss Danny Rohl has John Souttar, Derek Cornelius and Nasser Djiga as his main central defenders.
Manny Fernandez and Clinton Nsiala are further down the pecking order, below makeshift centre-back James Tavernier who has been moved from right-back to central defence in the back three deployed by Rohl.
Dujon Sterling is also still waiting to return to full fitness following an Achilles injury.
Rangers of course spent £8.5m on Youssef Chermiti (which could rise to £10m) in the summer, becoming their second most-expensive signing in history.
The £7m-plus for Sadick, if the move comes to pass, would be another mega investment by the Ibrox club’s new American owners.
He tends to go by his first name, Mujaid, rather than his surname.
