Ianis Hagi’s days at Ibrox look numbered after comments made on loan at Alaves

Given the comments he made last week regarding his loan experience

with Alaves, Ianis Hagi may have already played his final game for Rangers.

After finding it difficult to get playing time at Ibrox, the 25-year-old was sent to the

Spanish team in August for a season-long loan. Hagi, a 99-game veteran and

former fan favourite struggled to establish himself in the lineup following his year-long absence.

The Romanian international is technically scheduled to return to Glasgow in the

following summer because his contract expires at the end of the 2025–2026 campaign.

But if his most recent interview indicates anything, it now appears more likely that, should a

deal be reached, he will remain at Alaves.

On November 16, he made the following statement on the La Liga podcast: “I have always followed and

it has always been my favourite league.”

“I adore Spanish football and the Spanish way of thinking. I adore this country and

the way of life it offers. I’m having a great time here.

Hagi responded, “They are always ambitious and they align with who I am, my personality, and

my mentality,” when asked about Alaves in particular.

In terms of secret communications, Hagi has made it apparent that he is

content with his life in La Liga and that he would be content to remain there. If Hagi returns in

the summer, it is hard to see him making a

return to Ibrox, even with Philippe Clement in place. Rangers will want to recover the £4.5 million that they reportedly paid to acquire

Hagi permanently in May 2020 [Daily Record].

He is obviously a gifted player; all he needs to do is play regular football.

However, he is not good enough to beg to come back. Hagi might just be making the

correct statements, but at this point, it seems more likely that his future is now outside of Glasgow.
