SWANSEA CITY could offload Rangers-daft striker Oli McBurnie to French side Nice.

The club’s American owners are preparing for a summer fire sale after failing to raise the targeted £10m-plus in the January window.

Now they plan to balance the books at the end of the season – and Rangers-daft McBurnie could be a casualty.

Ligue 1 side Nice are interested in the 22-year-old and Premier League clubs are also hovering.

Scotland international McBurnie has scored 18 goals in 35 games so far this season for the Swans.

And while the Championship club would prefer to hold on to the frontman, they could be tempted into business if a fee of around £5m is tabled.

Winger Dan James, whose £10m move to Leeds collapsed to cause the shortfall, could sign a new deal if it contains a fixed fee clause.

We told in January how McBurnie and ex-Gers star Barrie McKay refused to join in on a huddle with their Swansea team-mates.

McBurnie - who started his career at Bradford City - has never hidden his desire to move to Ibrox one day.
