Rangers are at risk of not making anything this transfer window in the event that Ianis Hagi leaves, according to Tuttomercato.
The news outlet reported on 8 August that despite the Romanian’s deal expiring in 2025, he may still leave on a free transfer this summer.
Philippe Clement does not appear to be changing his stance on the 25-year-old and this development can see interested clubs taking advantage to sign the winger.
Allowing Hagi, a player with substantial potential and market value, to leave without securing any transfer revenue would represent a significant financial loss for Rangers. The club has invested considerable resources in Hagi’s development, and losing him for free, with a year left on his contract, would be a missed opportunity to recoup that investment.
Furthermore, this situation could set a concerning precedent for Rangers. Other players and their agents might view this as an opening to negotiate similar exit deals in the future, which could undermine the club’s control over player contracts and lead to a devaluation of the squad.
To avoid a complete loss, Rangers should consider actively seeking a buyer for Hagi, even if it means accepting a lower-than-expected transfer fee. This would ensure the club receives some return on their investment and avoids the financial blow of losing a valuable player for nothing.
