Ianis Hagi news: Plans revealed of major Rangers exit

Rangers attacker Ianis Hagi has a plan to join a specific club once he seals his Ibrox exit.

The Romanian has been a first-team regular this season after his contract issue with the club was resolved.

While his deal does not run out until the end of next season, the 26-year-old has not shown any inclination towards a contract extension.

Fenerbahce, Galatasaray and Genoa all want to sign Ianis Hagi

Romanian media outlet Sportpesurse reported on 28 February that Fenerbahce, Galatasaray and Genoa have all been linked to the Romania international.

However, he is not keen on joining Jose Mourinho at Fenerbahce as they’re the rivals of Galatasaray – a side his father represented.

Instead, he has plans on joining only one club in Turkey and that is Galatasaray.

No agreement has yet been reached over his move to Galatasaray, however, with his future likely to be decided in the coming months.

Gers can capitalise on the interest shown in Ianis Hagi

If Hagi expresses a desire to leave Gers this summer, the club must seize the opportunity to maximise his transfer value.

The 26-year-old Romanian playmaker has reignited his career at Ibrox, contributing four goals and five assists in 15 league games, drawing attention from clubs like Galatasaray, Genoa, and Rapid Bucharest.

With his contract running until 2026, Rangers hold a strong negotiating position, but his recent form and famous lineage, being the son of legend Gheorghe Hagi, only amplify his market appeal.

Ianis Hagi has had a decent season for Rangers

Interest from high-profile suitors, such as Galatasaray where his father starred, could spark a bidding war, especially if Gers play hardball.

The squad rebuild requires funds and offloading Hagi, who nearly departed last summer, aligns with financial strategy while his stock is rising.

By leveraging this interest, the Ibrox outfit can drive up his price, ensuring they extract maximum profit rather than risk losing him for free in 2026.

Hesitation could squander this window, so Gers must act decisively to capitalise on the buzz surrounding their resurgent star.
