Rangers FC is poised to demand a higher transfer fee for Ianis Hagi following a standout performance that has reignited interest in the Romanian international.
On August 10, Hagi played for the B Team against Derby County, scoring a hat-trick in a 5-3 victory. This impressive display occurred on the same day Rangers’ first team faced Motherwell in the league, underscoring Hagi’s exclusion from the main squad under manager Philippe Clement.
Clement has reportedly decided that Hagi will depart from the club this summer, and the midfielder’s performance could not have come at a better time.
With the summer transfer window still open, Rangers can capitalize on Hagi’s form to negotiate a more lucrative deal. His return to peak performance after a challenging period bolsters Rangers’ case to secure a substantial transfer fee.
This situation presents an ideal opportunity for Rangers to enhance their financial standing, which is crucial for Clement’s plans to strengthen the first team. As negotiations progress, Hagi’s recent performances and his participation in Euro 2024 provide Rangers with additional leverage to maximize their return.
