Galatasaray’s head coach Okan Buruk doesn’t seem to be ready to give up on the team’s pursuit of Rangers defender Ridvan Yilmaz, therefore the team is still looking for a left-back.
The Turkish transfer window is about to close in six days. Galatasaray may have missed the opportunity to return Ridvan Yilmaz to the Bosphorus banks, but the Super Lig contenders will not be easily defeated.
Galatasaray is expected to pursue further negotiations with Rangers. The valuations of the two clubs, however, differ by £2 million, with Buruk’s willing to spend twice as much as Philippe Clement‘s Glasgow giants are requesting for the former Besiktas flier.
Furthermore, it seems unlikely that Rangers will rush into an agreement with Galatasaray given that Clement will not be able to bring in a replacement before the busy final few months of a season that could still result in a Premiership victory. The Scottish window closed two days ago.
Ridvan Yilmaz continues to play for the Rangers.
“At left back, Kaan Ayhan, Baris Alper Yilmaz, and Berkan Kutlu have all performed admirably. Burak tells Sporx, “I am happy with all three of them,” after being compelled to push his team to the edge because of Galatasaray’s defensive shortcomings.
“Galatasaray management does as we please. We always have our president with us. We can use it in the Turkish League if a transfer is required in the next days.
“We will assess the possibility of a transfer if it presents itself.”
Galatasaray offers £2m, while the Gers demand £4m.
Throughout January, Rangers were linked to several left-backs; however, the closest they got to signing one was when they agreed to terms with Fluminense to bring Jefte Vital, 20, to Ibrox.
Negotiations collapsed, according to Fabricio Romano, when Jefte’s temporary employers, APOEL Nicosia, who had signed him on a season-long loan last summer, refused to let him leave Cyprus. The Brazilian then apologized to them after the window closed.
I would want to apologize to all APOEL supporters, my teammates, the coach, the president, and the entire club staff for missing (training). I didn’t feel like I could help the club at the time of the incident, so I made the decision to leave,” Jefte says.
“The institution, as it has been over the past few months and as it will going forward, deserves all of my devotion, attention, and dedication.
“We’re still as strong as ever and are fully committed to achieving our primary goal of winning the championship.”
