Ianis Hagi is reportedly on the verge of a significant pay increase if he makes one more appearance for Rangers. According to the Daily Record, Hagi is set to receive a £6,000 per week wage hike after his 100th match for the club, having already played 99 games.
However, this potential pay rise has created complications, with Rangers seemingly reluctant to trigger the clause in his contract. The club’s strategic decision to limit Hagi’s first-team appearances appears to be financially motivated, as they seek to manage their wage bill effectively.
Hagi, 25, has been relegated to Rangers’ B team, further fueling speculation about his future at Ibrox. Rapid Bucharest has confirmed that they are in discussions to sign the midfielder, indicating that Hagi could be on his way out this summer. Despite this, Hagi’s father, Gheorghe Hagi, has advised him to consider a move abroad rather than returning to Romania.
The uncertainty surrounding Hagi’s future comes as Rangers aim to avoid the financial implications of his contract clause while also seeking to reinvest in their first-team squad. The club is reportedly keen to offload the player, with hopes that a transfer deal can be reached soon, allowing them to generate funds for new signings.
