Emil Bohinen Emerges as Key Rangers Target in January Transfer Window

Rangers Enter the Race for Norwegian Midfielder

Rangers have offered personal terms to Genoa midfielder Emil Bohinen ahead of a potential January move as his loan to Serie B club Venezia is set to be cut short. The 26-year-old defensive midfielder, who was born in Derby and is the son of former footballer Lars Bohinen, has become a priority target for the Scottish giants as they look to strengthen their squad.

Current Situation at Venezia

Bohinen joined Venezia on loan from Genoa on 1 September 2025 with a contract expiring on 30 June 2026. However, his time in Serie B has been challenging. The Norwegian has played nine times in all competitions this campaign, with seven appearances coming in the Italian second division, where he has often been on the bench. Venezia and Genoa have decided to terminate the loan, opening the door for a January transfer.

Agent Change Sparks Transfer Activity

A significant development in Bohinen’s situation came when the 26-year-old changed his agents, which may have encouraged the Rangers links. His new representatives have received an offer for his services from Rangers ahead of the January window. This change appears to have been instrumental in generating fresh interest from multiple clubs across Europe.

Competition for Bohinen’s Signature

Rangers are not alone in their pursuit of the versatile midfielder. Clubs in the Eredivisie have come forward, and Spezia are also interested, creating a competitive situation. Rangers are in real need of new additions after a turbulent first half of the campaign, though Danny Röhl has improved their form since his arrival in October, with the club now sat third in the Scottish Premiership.

Conclusion: A Career at the Crossroads

Bohinen should return to Genoa soon and will then have a decision to make. For Rangers supporters, securing the Norwegian international could provide valuable depth in midfield as they mount a title challenge. With multiple clubs vying for his services and personal terms already on the table, the coming weeks will be crucial in determining where Bohinen continues his career. His next move could define whether he revives his fortunes after a challenging period in Italian football or continues to struggle for regular playing time.
