According to a Briefly News source at Sundowns, the club confirmed that the offer had been received, but a decision has yet to be made regarding Rangers' interest in the player.
The source said:
"There is a big offer on the table, but it is not final, and it does not mean that Rayners will be leaving the club anytime soon. The new coach will be looking to bring in new players and could use the funds to build the squad, but Rayners is an important player for the club, so it will have to be a decision that suits everybody associated with Masandawana. They cannot just cash out on a top player if it will damage the team in the long run, while there could be a counteroffer."
Fans want more for Rayners
Sundowns fans responded on social media, saying Rayners deserves to play overseas, while most supporters wanted a bigger transfer fee.
Mxolisi Masango wants more money:
"Make it R100 million. R55 million is nothing to Sundowns."
Simpex Simpex Lmore says Sundowns needs the money:
"If so, let him go. We need to cover the debt made from Sales. That guy is a liability in our team. And Motsepe should get a refund from his former club. They robbed us."
Fu Jay Inkosana says Rayners must stay:
"No, that boy is not for sale; we still have the Club World Cup. After that, Real Madrid or Chelsea will sign the guy, not this Rangers. We need teams like PSG, Man United, Man City or Atalanta to come and sign our big boys."
Re Lebohile Ten Mosisili rates Rayners highly:
"He is worth more than that."
Albert Mpule Mokoena backs the move:
"Rangers are good; I watched their cup final with Celtic; he'll fit exceptionally well."
