Ianis Hagi transfer decision made as Rangers exit on cards in weeks – Chris Jack
But after suffering a serious knee injury he lost his place in the squad, and a poor loan at Alaves last season shows that the club have now moved beyond the need for the Romanian in the side.
Philippe Clement has got top options in midfield such as Todd Cantwell and Mohamed Diomande, and Hagi’s lack of versatility and athleticism means he is limited in the new system.
There had been suggestions he could have a role in the 2024/25 campaign [Football Scotland, 25 May], but that is now out of the window.
The club will be hopeful that he can have some big performances at Euro 2024 this summer to drive up his price and increase interest, but the opening game saw him come off the bench and have minimal impact.
Ultimately he will leave, however, and the money will be reinvested. Fans will remember the good times, but they will also know it’s the right decision for all parties for him to move on.
