Galatasaray are reportedly considering a move for Rangers star Ianis Hagi with an ally of his dad Gheorghe claiming the playmaker would be "very interested" in following in his father's footsteps.
The 24-year-old has not feature for the Light Blues in over a year with after picking up a major ACL injury during the Scottish Cup tie against Stirling Albion last January. Despite the long-term absence Michael Beale has made it clear that he views Hagi as key to his long-term plans in Govan as he handed him a new contract until 2025 as one of his first duties as Rangers boss.
Despite this, reports in Turkey have suggested Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk has put a deal for Hagi at the top of his wishlist before the January window is over. While a new deal could have been agreed to add value, a move away from Rangers this month would be a major shock given Beale's show of faith in the player. An agreement would see Hagi Jr return to Istanbul where he was born, and where his father became a Galtasaray hero after the former Real Madrid and Barcelona star helped them win the UEFA Cup before later becoming manager.
