Ianis Hagi’s father Gheorghe has said that his son is enjoying life at Rangers and has no intention of leaving Ibrox.
Rangers paid £3.15m to sign the winger on a permanent deal from Genk ahead of the 2020/21 season following a loan spell in Glasgow in the previous campaign.
In all, the 23-year-old made 82 appearances for the Gers, scoring 14 times and providing 21 assists.
Was there a danger of Hagi leaving?
Hagi’s £21,000-per-week Rangers contract doesn’t expire until the end of the 2023/24 season, but that hasn’t stopped him being linked with a move away from Ibrox. Turkish outlet Sabah Spor reported at the end of last month (via Daily Record) that Galatasaray were to hold talks with the Gers over a potential transfer, with AS Roma also said to be admirers.
However, in quotes relayed by Romanian journalist Emanuel Rosu, the player’s father has said that the 23-year-old is ‘staying with Rangers’ and that ‘he loves it there’.
Many Rangers fans flocked to Rosu’s tweet to express their delight at this news about their ‘magic’ Romanian winger.
