Rangers transfer news: Chris Jack shares ‘madness’ verdict amid Ridvan Yilmaz to Galatasaray latest

Chris If the Rangers were to let go of Ridvan Yilmaz during the January transfer window without

acquiring a successor, Jack claims it would be “madness.”

Ahead of the deadline on February 2nd, Ridvan is still associated with the Ibrox exit, and Galatasaray is

reportedly optimistic about reaching an agreement [Milliyet].

If the Turkey international leaves, their only recognized left-back will be Borna Barisic, whose contract

expires in the summer.

Speaking on The Rangers Review podcast [17 January, 18m 54s], Herald writer Jack said: “Rangers

simply can’t be left with only Borna Barisic.

“They need to have someone in the building before he leaves, or have a deal all but sealed for someone to

come in.

“It’d be madness if Rangers leave themselves short. If they can get a decent fee, they can reinvest it into t

he squad.”

Twist or stick?

As the final phases of the transfer window approach, Ridvan’s future at Ibrox is very much up in the air

with Rangers.

The defender’s departure this month would not cause anyone much anxiety, considering his tenure in

Glasgow has been mediocre ever since he joined the team.

It would be wise for the Light Blues to cash in now if they could even turn a small profit or perhaps

recover the transfer price.

Even if it’s only for the next four months or so, Philippe Clement won’t want to be shortchanged in that

area.

Summer transfer window business will place a new left-back toward the top of the priority list, especially

with Barisic’s contract expiring in June.

Ridvan may need to be told that he will be available in the summer to any interested clubs, but until

then, Rangers will undoubtedly cling onto him.

In other Rangers news, the manager of the player has stated that the team must now work to sign a

“outstanding” player.
