Kurt Zouma is being linked with a surprise move from Romanian side CFR Cluj to Scottish Premiership club Rangers, according to transfer listings.
The 31-year-old centre-back, valued at around €8.00m, has emerged as a potential defensive target for the Ibrox side, with online transfer data marking the probability of a deal only as “?”, underlining the tentative nature of the speculation. There is no indication of an agreed fee or personal terms, and with no contract expiry publicly listed at Cluj, it remains unclear whether any move would involve a transfer fee or the possibility of him becoming available as a free agent in due course.
Zouma only joined CFR Cluj from West Ham United earlier in the 2025-26 season, moving to Romania’s SuperLiga after a loan spell at Saudi Arabian club Al-Orobah and a subsequent return to the Premier League side. Any approach from Rangers would therefore represent another swift change of environment for the defender.
Born in Lyon on 27 October 1994, Zouma holds both French and Central African Republic nationality and is primarily deployed as a right-footed centre-back. His career has taken in some of Europe’s major competitions, with spells at Chelsea, Everton and Stoke City in England, as well as his breakthrough at Saint-Étienne in Ligue 1.
His market value has declined from the peak figures he commanded during his Chelsea and West Ham years, yet the current €8.00m estimate still reflects significant top-flight experience across the Premier League, Ligue 1, Saudi Pro League and now Romania’s top tier. No recent match data or standout performances at CFR Cluj are listed in the available information, so it is not clear what has prompted the latest interest.
If Rangers do choose to formalise their curiosity, a move to Glasgow would offer Zouma the chance to re-establish himself in European competition and add another chapter to a career already marked by frequent moves across leagues and countries.
