Ianis Hagi’s future at Rangers remains unclear as his contract nears its expiration, but a move to Fenerbahce appears unlikely due to strong family ties. The Romanian playmaker has worked his way back into the squad after being sidelined last summer due to a contract dispute. Despite his resurgence, reports suggest he has turned down a new deal, fueling speculation about a potential departure from Ibrox.
Hagi, who has contributed four goals and seven assists this season, has attracted interest from several clubs, including Serie A’s Genoa and Turkish giants Fenerbahce and Galatasaray. However, former Romanian international Gheorghe Popescu, a close friend of the Hagi family and chairman of Farul Constanța, has cast doubt on a move to Fenerbahce. Given that Ianis’ father, the legendary Gheorghe Hagi, is revered at Galatasaray, switching to their fierce rivals would be a surprising decision.
Speaking to the media, Popescu explained that Ianis is content at Rangers and remains focused on his current club. He emphasized that while he is unsure of any concrete interest from Fenerbahce, Hagi’s loyalty to Galatasaray, shaped by his father’s legacy, would make such a move hard to imagine. Popescu added that Ianis is playing regularly and feels valued in Glasgow, which could influence his decision on whether to stay or seek a new challenge.
Despite the uncertainty, Hagi has continued to perform well for Rangers, showing his quality and adaptability in midfield. His contributions this season have been crucial for the club, and with several teams monitoring his situation, his next move remains a topic of keen interest. Whether he chooses to stay at Ibrox or explore new opportunities, his family’s deep footballing connections will likely play a role in shaping his future.
For now, the speculation continues, but one thing appears certain—Fenerbahce is not on the list of possible destinations. As the season progresses and his contract expiration draws closer, Rangers fans will be eager to see what the next chapter holds for their talented midfielder.
