Rangers Transfer Update: Ridvan Yilmaz Yet to Finalize Personal Agreement for January Move

Yagiz Sabuncuoglu emphasizes that Ridvan Yilmaz’s representatives have not finalized an agreement with Galatasaray regarding a January transfer from Rangers.

Despite rumors linking the Turkish defender to both Galatasaray and

Verona this month, Sabuncuoglu reveals that Philippe Clement is not inclined

to lose the left-back before January concludes.

The Light Blues would consider Yilmaz’s departure only for a

fee exceeding £4.3 million [€5 million] this month.

Speaking on the Sports Digitale YouTube channel, Sabuncuoglu

states that Yilmaz rejected Galatasaray’s offer, and

Clement has no intention of loaning him to the Turkish club.

According to Yilmaz’s entourage, no agreements with any

team have been reached yet. Sabuncuoglu points out that

Galatasaray would need to secure a loan with a mandatory

purchase option, and the fee must not fall below €5 million.

Yilmaz remains an essential part of Rangers’ current squad,

debunking the perception that the club wishes to part ways with him.

Sabuncuoglu mentions the potential transfer to Verona, noting that foreign press reports have hinted at the cancellation of that move.

While Rangers ideally want to retain Yilmaz beyond January, the possibility of a significant fee, such as the suggested £4.3 million, could lead to a deal.

Rangers’ reluctance to sell puts them in a strong negotiating position, especially considering the absence of a finalized agreement

between Yilmaz and Galatasaray regarding personal terms.

The hope is to keep Yilmaz at Ibrox, but if a transfer occurs, Rangers could secure a substantial amount for his services.
