Rangers make late £5m+ January transfer demand for a star player

After Ridvan Yilmaz seized his chance to feature in the starting XI at Ibrox in recent weeks, Rangers “suddenly” increased their asking

price for the player to £5.1 million, according to Spor Arena.

On January 31, a Turkish news outlet stated that Galatasaray was still in dire need of a left-back and that Yilmaz was at the top of their

It is said that Yilmaz has received a guarantee of playing time from the Istanbul-based

club as he wants to get into the Turkey squad

for the Euros, with Gala representatives now trying to convince Rangers to let him go.

Rangers could keep him after all

Since the beginning of the month, Yilmaz’s future at Ibrox has been a hot topic of conversation throughout this transfer window.

However, it now seems possible that he may stay at Ibrox in the long run.

His game has reached new heights following a stint in the Rangers first team due to Borna Barisic’s injury. His displays have clearly

improved, and Philippe Clement may now be tempted to keep him in mind.

A new, higher asking price has apparently been set that seems to be out of Galatasaray’s reach given that they couldn’t reach the

previous demand, which suggests Yilmaz’s future could be at Ibrox after all.

Rangers’ final few days in the window appear to be packed, with all eyes on the left-back’s possible trade. It’s a pretty straightforward

situation; if Galatasaray can make the payment, he might decide to depart. Personal terms have not been discussed, but because the

Rangers now hold the initiative, he might decide to stay.
