While this is so, the 26-year-old, who joined Rangers from Oostende in 2021, has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia.

Sakala didn’t mention of any new employer and the Ibrox club confirmed of his departure in an interview where the clubs manager Michael Beale expressed his gratitude for Sakala and hinted on Sakala’s move to another team “It was financially an offer that for Fashion and his family he should have took and he has done that” he said.
Sakala, who made 91 appearances for Rangers and scored 24 goals, said the sense of belonging he derived from being welcomed at Ibrox was the driving force behind his performances on the pitch.
He went on to thank the entire management and staff and the club’s fans, adding that he will always be a Ranger at heart. Sakala had a fantastic time at Rangers and he was one of the best players at the club last season but he is leaving just after two seasons.
