Rangers Demand €4.5m For Defender After Galatasaray Offer

Rangers have set a €4.5 million price tag for Ridvan Yilmaz, delaying his possible return to Istanbul as they reject Galatasaray’s initial loan bid.

Under Philippe Clement, the previously injury-prone and backup left-back has developed into a first-choice standout,

so his exit is far from certain.

Reputable Turkish reporter Yagiz Sabuncuoglu leaked the details of Galatasaray’s initial offer, which was a €3 million loan with bonuses.

However, Rangers responded with a noticeably larger demand following Yilmaz’s outstanding performance in the 1-0 victory over St

Mirren. They now want a €4.5 million upfront payment for a permanent transfer,

or a loan fee with an obligatory €4.5 million purchase clause.

This change indicates Yilmaz’s elevated status. He was formerly thought to be disposable, but he is currently performing at his best

and has surpassed Borna Barisic as the clear first choice left back. Rangers would be crazy to let him depart without offering a significant compensation package.

Yilmaz is content at Rangers and won’t be going unless his team sells him, as Turkish-Football is aware.

The door isn’t completely closed, but Galatasaray needs to determine if Yilmaz’s price is more than what they require. In the

meanwhile, Rangers may hold their heads high.

They have developed a good talent, witnessed his worth soar, and are now in a position to demand a high price or, in the event that

Galatasaray decides not to pursue the player, hold onto a valuable asset for the remainder of the campaign.

In the end, Galatasaray has the upper hand. Yilmaz would return to Turkey if a revised offer satisfied Rangers’ needs, albeit at a much higher cost than originally projected.

Should they refuse, Yilmaz will continue to be an essential component of the Rangers’ team,

as his strong play guaranteeing a spot in the starting lineup.

Yilmaz’s departure at this time might also be a serious setback for the Rangers, who have just made significant progress. The Scottish

powerhouses may elect to wait until the conclusion of the season to make a transfer decision

because they have few backup choices and little time to find a successor.
