Ianis Hagi’s legendary father admits he hopes to see the Rangers playmaker follow in his footsteps with a move to Turkish Super Lig giants Galatasaray.
Will the £3 million signing from Genk be offered a fresh start at Rangers? Maybe, if Philippe Clement cannot be won over by Todd Cantwell – subbed off at half-time due to ‘tactical reasons’ in the Scottish League Cup semi-final – and if Sam Lammers cannot find some form on a consistent basis.
Rangers may opt to cash in instead, however, perhaps freeing up funds for a centre-forward or a centre-half. In addition to Cantwell and Lammers, Clement also has Tom Lawrence at his disposal after all.
Rangers must make Ianis Hagi decision soon
Hagi joined La Liga outfit Deportivo Alaves on loan last summer, in an attempt to play regular first-team football again following a lengthy absence due to a serious knee injury.
A difficult start to life in Spain renders a bid from Turkish giants Galatasaray unlikely at present, however, despite Gheorghe encouraging his 25-year-old son to follow in his gilded footsteps.
“It was (a source of) pride and an honour to represent such a great club,” the Romania legend, who won four Super Lig titles in Turkey, tells Galatasaray TV.
