Just in: ‘Explosive’ £3.4m winger won’t be signing for Rangers on deadline day as Stoke City pounce-Ibrox sources
On the last day of the Scottish Premiership window, discussions about Rangers’ and Galatasaray’s valuation
of Turkey international Ridvan Yilmaz seem to be about £2 million apart.
Even though the Super Lig window isn’t supposed to close until February 9th, Galatasaray has a strong desire to close a deal as quickly
as possible. After all, Rangers have till tonight to find a replacement for Ridvan Yilmaz. If no new left-back can be signed to occupy
Yilmaz’s spot, Philippe Clement’s team would be reluctant to allow him to leave for Istanbul after play on Thursday night.
As per Fotospor, the two parties’ valuations of the former Besiktas player are still roughly £2 million apart.
In Ridvan Yilmaz’s talks with Galatasaray, Rangers wants £4 million, either in cash or through a buyout clause that will kick in after a
first loan term. Galatasaray, though, seems to be dreaming that they can finalize a deal for more like £2 million.
Rangers is not going to take such a big loss on a player who signed in the summer of 2022 for £3.5 million. In addition, Yilmaz would
leave when in the prime of his Gers career, having opened the score away to Hibernian a few days before and shining in Saturday’s 1-0
victory at St Mirren.
