Rangers must be astute in the transfer market, according to Philippe Clement, if they hope to remain in the Scottish Premiership.
Under the Belgian manager, the Gers are going through a period of decline, and the Ibrox team’s questionable spending over the last three seasons has now reached a breaking point.
Due to budgetary issues, Ianis Hagi, one of the team’s most experienced and talented players, was rotting in the reserves.
Following his return to Rangers colors and his season-best performance in the 3-0 thumping of Aberdeen, Clement formally announced that the player is in the final six months of his current deal.
It is known that Ianis Hagi and Philippe Clement have engaged in “negotiations.”
After recognizing that their previous contract and transfer policy was unsustainable, Rangers launched a major cost-cutting exercise this summer.
Rangers reduced the cost of salaries by £6 million a year by firing several high earners, and more are expected in this and the upcoming window.
The Turkish Super Lig team Besiktas is also considering Tom Lawrence, although Kieran Dowell and Rabbi Matondo are at the top of the list.
It would be feasible to free enough money to sign the Romanian since Philippe Clement has stated that “negotiations” are underway and that Ianis Hagi’s contract ends in the summer.
The announcement comes after Hagi rejoined the first team in October following a renegotiated salary increase in the player’s contract.
“His contract will expire at the end of the season,” Clement said.
Whether it is possible or not, it will be the subject of negotiations.
“The club and I don’t know what figures Ianis has in mind, so that’s up to them to discuss.”
Ianis Hagi of the Rangers has “put water in the wine.”
Ianis Hagi has left a lasting impact on Rangers fans in recent months.
First of all, by persevering through being demoted to the Rangers B squad and showing patience while contract concerns were resolved, the 26-year-old Romanian international showed a great degree of maturity and determination.
In order to stay focused on his football after years of tumultuous turbulence, which started with a cruciate ligament injury in January 2022, he displayed a Rangers class that resonated with Ibrox followers.
In addition to breaking through defenses and creating significant opportunities in front of goal, Ianis Hagi also made a comeback to the team and showed off his skills.
Philippe Clement said he was pleased that everyone had united to “put water in the wine” when questioned about Hagi’s incredible return to the Rangers first squad.
“I’m happy with his recent performances, of course,” Clement said.
I have heard of it before. There was a situation before the season that I had no control over.
“I’m happy that everyone was ready to dilute the wine—both on his and the club’s end—after the discussions in the club.
“To unite and resolve that issue, which has undoubtedly helped the team.”
