Rangers may have to deal with complex situation in transfer window as 20% claim emerges

According to Ajansspor, Rangers will be required to give Besiktas 20% of any net revenue associated with

Ridvan Yilmaz due to his connections to Galatasaray.

On January 10, a Turkish media site stated that this was covered by his contract when he relocated to Ibrox in 2022.

Yilmaz has had difficulty securing a berth and being a fixture in the first team at Ibrox since his £5 million signing.

Rangers are in a difficult situation because Galatasaray is showing interest in left-back Yilmaz.

The £5 million deal for the Turkey international in 2022 has not been easy to come by.

However, the 20% sell-on clause to Besiktas complicates prospective revenues,

so Gers may face difficulties if he decides to return to Turkey, either permanently or on loan.

Plus, with Borna Barisic’s contract expiring soon, finding a Josh Doig replacement is imperative.

It doesn’t seem like a simple task for them to sign Doig, though,

and this is definitely not how Philippe Clement would have expected his first window as manager to proceed.

There are holes in many parts of the club that need to be filled if they are to compete with Celtic for the championship.

It remains to be seen where Yilmaz ends up and how much money they even earn from any sale to put back into the squad.
