Rangers are close to agreeing a deal with Brazilian side Palmeiras for the permanent transfer of Jefte that would see the club receive a fee of around £6m.
The left-back moved to Ibrox from Fluminense last May for £800,000, joining previous manager Philippe Clement’s rebuild.
The defender moved to Glasgow after spending a season on loan with Cypriot First Division champions APOEL.
He is not set to confirm his exit to the Brasileiro Série A outfit.
It comes as Rangers are close to completing a deal to sign Real Betis defender Nobel Mendy.
The centre-back would be the Ibrox club’s tenth new signing of the summer and would strengthen head coach Russell Martin’s defensive options.
