According to the Daily Mail Sakala has decided against joining the high profile arrivals in Saudi Arabia in favour of staying at Ibrox.
The FC Rangers hitman was two weeks ago reported to have attracted interest from Saudi Arabia top flight side, Al Fayha.
Last summer, The Zambian international was the subject of reported interest from Premier League new boys Burnley but remained at Ibrox.
