Ianis Hagi is fighting for minutes with Alavés.
Since joining Alavés on loan in the summer without a buyout option, Rangers loanee Ianis Hagi has had a mediocre stay in Spain.
Ianis Hagi, who scored twice in a Copa Del Rey victory over bottom-tier Deportivo Murcia, is running out of time to establish himself in La Liga and still hasn’t scored a goal for Alavés.
Given that he recently inked a new contract with Rangers, and that he will be returning to Ibrox at the end of the season, there are serious doubts that Alavés will make the financial commitment to recruit the playmaker.
Rangers also seem to have moved on, so it will be intriguing to watch how the well-liked 25-year-old does over the coming months and summer.
The fact that Romania has also qualified for Euro 2024 may force Ianis Hagi to be sold because it seems like his time at Rangers is almost up.
The future of the Rangers is at stake.
When the news of the loan switch to Alavés broke, the Gers playmaker seemed to be bidding adieu to his Ibrox duties.The Rangers allegedly failed to secure an early release from the loan arrangement with the La Liga side, which put an end to rumors of a possible recall.
Rangers, too, have taken a new turn; Mohamed Diomande has joined a competitive midfield, while Todd Cantwell, Tom Lawrence, and Kieran Dowell offer tough challenge for Ianis Hagi.
Following a severe cruciate ligament injury in 2022, the Romanian was not at all satisfied with the competition last summer.
The number 7 jersey has been grabbed by Fabio Silva, the Wolves loanee who has been linked to a longer stay in Glasgow, and this suggests that Ianis Hagi may have already played his farewell game for the team.
However, throughout his time with Alavés After first joining on loan from RC Genk, Ianis Hagi signed a reputed £3 million agreement with Rangers in 2021. The playmaker would go on to make 99 appearances at Ibrox.
