With the football world knowing that Southampton have paid out £6m for Joe Aribo the Ibrox club have chosen to describe it as ‘a significant undisclosed fee’.
Three years on from leaving Charlton the midfielder has returned to English football with one year left to run on his Ibrox contract.
Hype, hope and spin about a £20m fee and a race to sign the midfielder proved to be typically over optimistic.
On Thursday morning Fabrizio Romano confirmed a £6m fee, despite being alerted there was no sign of Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest or Crystal Palace launching a counter bid for the Nigerian international.
Rangers can today confirm the transfer of @J_Aribo19 to @SouthamptonFC for a significant, undisclosed fee.
Aribo has served Rangers with distinction in the last three seasons, and leaves with the best wishes of everyone at Ibrox.

With that fee set it is highly unlikely that larger fees will be coming in for Alfredo Morelos or Ryan Kent. With less than 12 months left on their deals the club has to decide whether they cash in on more cut price deals or allow both players to leave as free agents next summer.
I take it that its just marginally less than the “world record undisclosed fee” they got for Patterson? They really believe their fans zip up the back!
With Charlton due a 20% – 30% sell on fee the actual fee will be around £4m now that’s a Player Trading Model we can all be proud of at Ibrokes! They’ll make the shortfall up with the £30m from Bassey…….LoL!
The just sold the spl for 4 million after charlton get there cut morales will go for three he’s fat indisciplined
And will ruin any team photo
Lol BRILLIANT and funny as f**k every time a player leaves the BIGOT dome and the klan klub don’t get the OUTRAGEOUS transfer fee for the player they told their fans they would get for them the player always goes for an undisclosed fee.
It wouldn’t surprise me if all they got for him was a couple of million for him hence the undisclosed fee quote,because let’s face it had they Dembele Dollars for Haribo the scum in the press would be plastering the fee on the front and back pages.
A nickel&dime player going for a nickel & dime player.
Although wee Coco the klown at ibrox noise is all giddy with excitement as Haribo has gone for a fee of £10 million+,ah wee Coco obviously been over doing with the Buckie and them funny fags.
The patter on this site is brilliant so glad I joined its better than only excuse, keep it up.
