Condition emerges amid fresh transfer twist in Galatasaray saga to sign Ridvan Yilmaz from Rangers
Galatasaray will accelerate their pursuit to sign Rangers left-back Ridvan Yilmaz on the condition that they sell Angelino, according to Neox Medya.
The Turkish news outlet with over 17k Twitter followers and 30million monthly subscribers reported on 25 January that Galatasaray are expected to seal and then announce the singing of Yilmaz by the end of next week.
It’s understood to be close with the 22-year-old open to returning to his native country in the January transfer window.
Get in a replacement soon
Gers are undoubtedly under pressure to secure a replacement for Yilmaz who’s unlikely to be at Ibrox beyond January.
While Rangers have made strides in reinforcing their options in other areas with the acquisitions of Fabio Silva and the imminent arrival of Mohamed Diamonde, the absence of progress in securing a left-back is a cause for concern.
A balanced squad is crucial for sustained success, and neglecting the left-back position could lead to defensive vulnerabilities.
The need for a replacement is exacerbated by Yilmaz’s imminent move and the desire to maintain squad depth for domestic and potentially European competitions.
Clement’s proactive approach in securing attacking reinforcements highlights the urgency to adopt a similar strategy for the left-back position.
The Ibrox outfit must act swiftly to identify and sign a suitable replacement to ensure a seamless transition and maintain a competitive edge in their pursuit of domestic and European success.
