Six-figure loan fee offered with £2.5m option to sign Rangers player, he agrees exit – report

According to Ali Naci Kucuk, Galatasaray has made an offer to sign Ridvan Yilmaz on loan from Rangers for an initial cost of £428,000 with a £2.5 million option to buy.

On January 22, a Turkish journalist reported that Galatasaray had already reached an agreement with Yilmaz before beginning their next round of negotiations with Rangers.

Rangers are thought to seek at least £5.1 million to let Yilmaz to go in January,

but the Turkish giants are hoping to negotiate a lower price in the coming days.

A move appears inevitable.

Galatasaray’s eagerness to conclude a deal for Yilmaz before the transfer window ends indicates that

they will not stop pressing until the move is finalized in January.

However, if they are unable to match Rangers’ financial criteria, the deal may fail.

The Glasgow club has no incentive to sell if their valuation is not fulfilled,

and they would like to keep Yilmaz at Ibrox for the rest of the season.

Allowing Yilmaz to leave Ibrox in the coming days would need

Rangers to bring in a replacement as cover for Borna Barisic,

or a long-term alternative to replace the Croatian,

whose contract is set to expire at the conclusion of the current season, with no new agreement on the table.

As a result, Galatasaray will need to up their offer to get this one done,

but with negotiations ongoing and the Turkish club insisting on the deal,

it looks almost inevitable that it will take place before the end of the transfer window.
