The 23-year-old Auxerre star has, however, today insisted that he will remain in his homeland until the summer, with Rangers being just one of a number of viable options.
Boumsong said: "I will not leave during the transfer window. I am with Auxerre until the end of the campaign. There are so many things to do with them whether it's in Ligue 1, Europe or the national cups.
"It is true that Rangers are interested but I have never talked to any Scottish newspaper.''
