Rangers will more than likely do business both in and out during the January transfer window.
Cyriel Dessers had reported interest from Saint-Ettiene after moving down the pecking order, although that was played down by their new manager.
Ibrox chiefs are likely to be keen to cash in though if any other clubs are interested.
Ianis Hagi is also attracting interest and Genoa are said to be ‘very close’ to his signature despite his Rangers renaissance.
Borussia Monchengladbach were also previously named as a potential destination for the Romanian.
While Ridvan Yilmaz is also now attracting interest from Trabzonspor, ironically being sized up as a Borna Barisic replacement.
Rangers told to sell Ridvan Yilmaz
Trabzonspor manager Şenol Güneş is said to personally want Yilmaz’s signature and is pushing hard for it after the pair worked together at Besiktas.
It would see him reunited with John Lundstram, but not Barisic who could be the one on his way out to create a space for the Turk.
Barisic hasn’t been able to establish himself at Trabzonspor and finds himself out of favour and barely playing. Resolving his future could hold the key to any move for Yilmaz.
From Rangers’ point of view, Andy Walker reckons they should take the opportunity to sell.
Speaking on The Go Football Show Podcast, he said: “I’m reading this morning about Trabzonspor in Turkey being in touch with Rangers about Ridvan Yilmaz.
“If there’s any truth in that and Rangers can make some money on this young guy, you sell him.
“You sell him, you make the money and you should have a list of another two or three options in that position, go and get them for a fraction of what you’re selling Yilmaz for.”
Would Rangers cash in on Yilmaz?
Philippe Clement has recently been very complimentary and described Rangers ace Yilmaz as a “warrior.”
He also talked up Ridvan’s versatility after utilising him further forward on the left flank at times.
But after being signed for an initial £3.5m, with add-ons, the signing of the Turk has perhaps not worked out the way he would have wanted.
Despite showing what he can do at times, the 23-year-old can never seem to get a sustained run in the team due to injuries and inconsistency.
If Gers can make a profit, they would quite possibly be keen to do so. And a move back to his homeland may well suit the player who will want to get back into his national team.
