“It’s a problem” – Rangers man’s situation concern, manager urged to ignore’

The situation lived by Rangers loanee Ianis Hagi in Spain, a move that happened before the arrival of Philippe Clement, is becoming a serious subject in the Romanian media to the point where there are doubts as to whether he should make his national team’s squad.

The Rangers man has mostly stayed on the bench in La Liga lately, with only two appearances in the last eight matches, both of them seeing him be used at the end of the games.

So as Digisport today brings some quotes from Ionut Lupescu about the situation, it’s pointed out that Hagi may end up being overlooked for the Euros, forcing him to watch his teammates from afar.

“I wouldn’t see Ianis’ absence from the Euro as a problem as long as Edi [Edward Iordanescu, Romania’s manager] sets and announces clear criteria for the final squad,” he said.

“Recall how shocked the public was to learn that Lăcătuş and Sabău were not included in the American squad for the World Cup! But as the battles begin, everyone loses track of time and concentrates on the intensity of the action. The goal must be victory.
Digisport additionally presents some statements from Florin Răducioiu regarding the Rangers player, noting that manager Edward Iordanescu must make some significant decisions.

We will have an issue with it. It’s an issue with the staff and coach.

Some players, like Răzvan Marin and Hagi, qualified us with their goals; nonetheless, it is evident that they are having issues with the club squad. Playing should be their main activity.

Last summer, Hagi was on loan from Rangers to Alaves. He has subsequently made 20 appearances for the Spanish team, but he hasn’t made a La Liga start since the previous year.

That’s a horrible situation for Philippe Clement’s team, who undoubtedly want to value the player for a future transfer, as well as for the player, who might lose out on the Euro.

Hagi’s deal with Rangers expires in 2026, and according to Transfermarkt, the midfield player is presently worth €3.5 million. As a result, there could not be much money available for a trade when Hagi returns to Ibrox.
