Mark Hendry reacted to reports linking Rangers with a potential move for Penarol midfielder Damian Garcia amid contract troubles at his current club.

According to The Daily Record, Garcia, a 20-year-old talent, has turned down a new contract at Penarol, leading to speculation about his future. The club’s manager, Diego Aguirre, has reportedly questioned Garcia’s commitment as a result. Rangers are reportedly interested in bringing the Uruguayan midfielder to Ibrox in the upcoming transfer window.

In a post on 3rd June, Hendry, the deputy editor of Football Scotland, mentioned Garcia’s ongoing dispute with Penarol and suggested that this situation could spark significant interest from Rangers.

Rangers have a chance to take advantage of Garcia’s uncertain contract situation by offering him a compelling deal and the opportunity to showcase his skills in a competitive European league. The midfielder’s stance at Penarol seems to be related to wage issues and a sense of underappreciation from the club’s management.

Given Garcia’s potential and his established presence in Penarol’s first team, along with his experience at the Under-20 level with Uruguay, he could be a valuable addition to Rangers’ squad for both domestic and European competitions.

Bringing Garcia to Ibrox would align with Rangers’ strategy of targeting young, promising players with room for growth. The club could provide him with a fresh start, competitive pay, and the chance to develop further under their experienced coaching staff.

As Rangers seek to bolster their team, securing Garcia’s services could prove to be a smart move, strengthening the squad with a talented midfielder eager to make his mark on a bigger stage.
