Ridvan Yilmaz Rangers transfer exit route and how Celtic link...

This week, Rangers learned that APOEL’s refusal to cooperate would force them to postpone their

signing of Jefte until the summer.

With less than twenty-four hours remaining until the window closes and no more transactions can

be made, that meant making another attempt to enter the transfer market. Ridvan Yilmaz is one

player who has been linked to leaving Ibrox this transfer window, but in recent weeks, he has

played more frequently under Philippe Clement. Contrary to rumours, Football Scotland is aware

that the Turkish defender has consistently expressed a wish to remain in Glasgow despite interest

from Galatasaray in his native country.

And now he might receive his request from another, more surprising source in addition to APOEL’s

assistance in Cyprus. Layvin Kurzawa has been linked to Celtic this evening; according to the Daily

Mail, his agents have made him available to Parkhead’s recruitment team.

However, Football Scotland is aware that Galatasaray is one club among several considering a move

for the 31-year-old PSG star, which would effectively put an end to their pursuit of Ridvan.
