Nikica Jelavic has claimed that Manchester United are interested in signing him.
The Rangers striker has been in superb form recently, with four goals in his last five SPL outings helping to push Walter Smith’s side to the brink of their third successive title.
Reports in Croatia have suggested that has attracted the attention of the Old Trafford giants, with Jelavic now saying his agent has made him aware of possible interest.
The 25-year-old made it clear, however, that his only focus was on ensuring Rangers wrapped up the championship with victory at Kilmarnock on Sunday.
‘I know that United are interested,’ the £4million signing from Rapid Vienna told media in his homeland. ‘My agent has established contact but that’s all that I know right now.
‘My agent has mentioned a figure of 15 million euros and I came to Rangers for
five million euros, so it would be a big gain for the club.
‘However, I would only think of a transfer in the summer. I’m fine here and enjoying every moment. The Rangers fans give me goosebumps. They really love me now.
‘I am looking forward to the Kilmarnock game on Sunday. If we win that match, it will
be the first title that I have won where I have been one of the key figures. I would call it
my first real title.’
Despite missing three months of the season with an ankle injury, Jelavic has scored 18 goals in all competitions for Rangers.
He is under contract at Ibrox until 2014, leaving the club in a strong position should any summer interest from elsewhere develop.
