Bayern Munich wonderkid, 20, ‘turns down Rangers offer' as he leaves Bundesliga giants as free agent
They've been beaten to his signature LOOKING ELSEWHERE Bayern Munich wonderkid, 20, 'turns down Rangers offer' as he leaves Bundesliga giants as free agent RANGERS made an offer to a Turkish wonderkid Emirhan Demircan but he has rebuffed them and opted to sign for FC Utrecht, according to reports. The 20-year-old joined the Bayern Munich youth academy in 2017 and featured regularly for their reserves last season. Advertisement 1 Emirhan Demircan in action for Turkey Under-21s Credit: Getty Demircan played in 20 games for Bayern Munich II in the Regionalliga Bayern (Bavarian regional league) and scored six goals, adding five assists. He plays mainly as a left-winger but can also operate on the right or as a central striker. According to various reports, including transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Gers were one of four clubs interested in snapping up the starlet from the Bundesliga giants. Turkish outfit Besiktas and fellow German side Hoffenheim were also linked with the player. Advertisement But he has decided to move to the Netherlands with Eredivisie side Utrecht. He has been given a three-year deal and completed a medical ahead of the move. Demircan has three caps for the Turkish Under-21s and has also played for his national team at Under-19 and Under-17 level. With interest mounting in Hamza Igamane and with doubts over Oscar Cortes' fitness, Demircan made sense for Gers, particularly given he would have been available on a Bosman. Advertisement We told you last night that potentially up to SEVEN clubs are now monitoring Moroccan ace Igamane. Meanwhile, Gers striker Danilo is trying to reignite his Ibrox career by ramping up his preseason schedule. £6m Rangers star Danilo spotted doing gruelling sessions on beach in Brazil as he gears up for make or break pre-season He posted a video of a gruelling workout on the beach back home in Brazil. In the clip he can be seen working with a fitness trainer and sporting his very own 'Danilo 99' Rangers shirt. Advertisement The Brazilian showed no signs of any lingering injury issues as he performed sprint work and fast feet exercises on the sandy terrain. Croatian striker Matija Frigan is also understood to be of interest to the Light Blues and new boss Russell Martin. Premier League cult hero Jamie Vardy has also been linked with Gers after his exit from Leicester City was confirmed.
