Rangers fans have hit out at Galatasaray after they reportedly had a £3.4million bid for Ianis Hagi rejected by the Scottish champions.
According to Turkish news outlet Sporx, Rangers want £9.4million for the 22-year-old attacking midfielder, who has started this season brilliantly with two goals and an assist in three appearances.
Hagi was also vital to last season’s title success, contributing with seven goals and 12 assists in his 32 Premiership appearances.
Hagi has often been the source of frustration among Gers fans due to his inconsistent performances but last term, it would be fair to say that the Romania international showed a lot of improvement.
We asked our panel of Rangers Super Fans what they think about Galatasaray’s lowball bid for Hagi and some of them were not happy.
One dubbed the offer a “disgrace” while others have suggested the Gers should be looking for up to £14million for the playmaker or simply try to keep hold of him.
Here is what they had to say:
Rangers may need to sell players after dropping out of the Champions League because the club cannot keep making eight-figure losses each year. It’s simply not sustainable.
What they can do is sign players on the cheap, improve their value and then sell them on.
When you look at Steven Gerrard’s squad, Alfredo Morelos, Ryan Kent and Glen Kamara are probably the three most valuable players because they are arguably our three best players.
Hagi is someone who’s young, is getting better and could also present the Gers with an opportunity to make some money.
Unfortunately, Galatasaray’s reported bid is far from what we’d expect for someone who cost £4million not too long ago.
