BREAKING NEWS : Rangers defender have asked for £1.7million to join Top European club

According to Yakup Cinar, Ridvan Yilmaz sought for £1.7 million to join Galatasaray from Rangers during the January transfer window.

On Monday (5 February), the Yeni Acik journalist revealed via a YouTube video that the 22-year-old requested the money, which is nearly double his present salary at Ibrox.

Rangers sought £4.3 million for the permanent transfer of Yilmaz, but were open to a loan deal with an option to buy at the end of the season.

Rangers receive perks for failed transfer.

Despite recent transfer rumours surrounding Yilmaz, the full-back has improved under Philippe Clement and appears to be at home at Ibrox.

During the transfer window, the player scored against Hibernian and assisted against Kilmarnock, demonstrating how important he is to the Gers. His three most recent games have also included clean sheets.

Even with Borna Barisic in the team, Yilmaz appears to be the choice left-back, and given the failed signing of Jefte from Fluminense last month, his importance is greater than ever.

Clement made it plain that he wanted a new fullback. Despite this revelation in the press, Yilmaz’s professionalism throughout the scepticism and rumors was unparalleled.

Rangers would have been in a very tough situation if their top left-back had left, with no real successor available for him. Dujon Sterling would be the only probable cover, although he appears to be more at ease in midfield today.

The Ibrox side appears to be reaping the benefits of the Turkish defender’s attempted transfer to Galatasaray. It would be fascinating to see if Clement has changed his mind about buying a new full-back this summer, or if Jefte will be back on the club’s radar.
