Rangers transfer news: BBC Sport pundit tips ‘hefty fee’ windfall for Ridvan Yilmaz summer exit.
According to Kenny Miller, Ridvan Yilmaz’s performances indicate that Rangers might now recoup their “hefty fee” if he leaves in the summer.
According to a BBC Sport analyst on Clyde 1 Superscoreboard on March 8, the Turkish defender has recovered from a potential departure in January. He is expected to be a long-term starter or fetch a high price for the club in the summer.
Borna Barisic, according to journalist Roger Hannah, may also be on his way out, although he believes January target Jefte will come in and maybe supplant Yilmaz as the first-choice under Philippe Clement, despite his good form.
Hannah commented (31m 25s): “It appeared that he was moving to Hellas Verona to replace Josh Doig.
It appeared that Jefte, a Brazilian from Cyprus, was about to enter. That agreement fell through due to problems with both his parent club and his loan team. I believe Rangers will try to revive their bid in the summer.
“You wonder if Borna Barisic would go in the summer, if Jefte will be the first pick, and what this will entail for Yilmaz.
“But the way he’s been playing lately, he’s not done himself any harm. For the rest of the season, he’s established himself as first choice, and beyond that, you wonder if he’s done enough to really breathe life into his Rangers career.”

Will Jefte take over as Rangers starting at Ibrox from late bloomer Ridvan Yilmaz?
Whatever happens in the following months Yilmaz, 22, has finally accomplished what he was brought in for: replacing 31-year-old Barisic in the main XI.
Clement has continued to rotate the Croatian veteran, but the balance has clearly shifted in favor of the younger guy, who has finally strung together a string of solid performances unhindered by injury.
Rangers were prepared to allow the former Besiktas player depart midseason if they received a suitable deal. However, they believed Jefte would be an immediate replacement.
A verbal agreement was reached to complete the transaction in the forthcoming window, and the Brazilian is still expected to join.
If the numbers work, it would make sense for the Fluminense man to come in to replace Barisic given how things have gone in recent weeks, but it
appears unlikely that all three will be at Ibrox next season, so if Yilmaz is set to fund other deals, his asking price has undoubtedly increased as a result of his recent form.
