Ridvan Yilmaz shares image as Rangers left-back linked with Ibrox exit, bid reportedly submitted.

On Wednesday, January 17, Ridvan Yilmaz posted a picture to social media in the midst of rumors that a bid has been made for the Rangers defender.

On Tuesday, January 16, Turkish publication Sabah asserted that Ridvan might be amenable to joining Galatasaray, who reportedly made a loan offer.

The 22-year-old, who participated for Rangers in their Tuesday friendly tie against Copenhagen, has not received an official statement from either club (16 January).

A picture of the match has now been uploaded by Ridvan to his personal Twitter account, along with blue and white love hearts emoticons.

Goodbye?

Is Ridvan sending this as a farewell message? That very well could be the case, if conjecture in the media is any guide.

Answered about the player’s future, Philippe Clement offered nothing to deny rumors of an impending departure, essentially stating that everyone has a price.

While he hasn’t exactly lit up Ibrox in his time at the team, the Turkey international has shown himself to be a respectable Borna Barisic’s backup.

It would be odd, though, if Rangers approved Ridvan’s loan leave. Undoubtedly, that is a poor decision, considering the deficiency of depth at left back.

If it’s a first loan with a purchase obligation, that would be a game changer and probably the first domino to fall in the late January transfer frenzy.

Given the necessity for a forward and another left-back, Ridvan’s potential departure may open the door for new deals to be completed.

In unrelated Rangers news, a journalist for Sky Sports has revealed details about the players the Gers are hoping to sign.
