Rangers will face the Danish outfit if they make it past Progres Niederkorn in Europa League qualifying.
Steven Gerrard’s side have a lot of work to do to reach that stage of the competition but if they make it past old foes Progres Niederkorn in the second qualifying round as expected then they’ll meet the Danes in the next round.
Now Midtjylland chief executive Claus Steinlein has admitted they could sell Onuachu.
As quoted by The Scottish Sun he said: “Paul is on holiday now and when he returns to Denmark, it is possible we may have found the right club for him by then. There have been lots of enquiries and offers, but so far none have been satisfactory.
“So far we chose to say no, but that could change.”
The Nigerian international recently featured in the African Cup of Nations and so had earned a late return in joining up with his club teammates.
Onuachu is a key weapon for Midtjylland, last season scoring 22 goals for the club and finishing as their top scorer.
Facing that kind of firepower could be a problem for Gerrard’s team so the sooner the Danes get around to selling him, the better for Rangers.
The Scottish Sun say that both Anderlecht and Club Brugge in Belgium are preparing offers for the player, who is reportedly valued at around £5m.
Clearly though, Rangers’ entire focus right now will be on facing Progres, who visit Ibrox tonight hoping to capture some of the spirit that knocked Pedro Caixinha’s side out of Europe in 2017.
They can’t be taken for granted and only when they are dealt with will Gerrard and his coaching staff turn their attentions to the threats that Midtjylland have at their disposal.
