Ianis Hagi, the Romanian internationalist, is currently training with the Rangers B team after being informed that he can exit the club. Despite not being in Philippe Clement’s plans for the team at Ibrox, Hagi seems eager to stay with Rangers, even though he has been demoted to the B team.
After spending last season on loan at Alaves due to an injury, Hagi returned to Rangers this summer but is unlikely to be included in Clement’s squad. Recent reports from Sky Sports suggest that a clause in Hagi’s contract with Rangers could be a reason for his absence from the first team. The clause states that if Hagi starts more matches for Rangers, it would trigger a wage increase for him.
When asked about the rumors of Hagi’s contract being terminated, Clement seemed surprised and distanced himself from contract discussions, emphasizing that his focus is on the squad’s needs rather than financial matters. He stated that decisions regarding player contracts are made by others, not by him.
In a recent match for the Rangers B team against Derby, Hagi scored a hat-trick, showcasing his skills on the field. Following the match, he took to Instagram to express that he feels at home with the team.
As the situation with Ianis Hagi unfolds, fans are eagerly awaiting updates on his future with Rangers and whether he will have a chance to showcase his talent in the first team. Despite the uncertainty surrounding his status, Hagi’s dedication to the team and his impressive performance in recent matches highlight his commitment to the club. Only time will tell what lies ahead for the talented midfielder and his journey with the Rangers.
