He's certainly not short of options and has been weighing up his next move over the past few weeks, with a big decision to make on his future. But according to fresh reports from Europe, Hagi may finally be closing in on his next club. Romanian outlet Fanatik claim his next destination will likely be Istanbul, following in the footsteps of his legendary father Gheorghe. Hagi Snr ended his trophy-laded career in football at Galatasaray where he lifted another 10 trophies, before taking over as manager on two separate occasions in 2004 and 2010. But despite his incredible reputation in the Turkish capital, Ianis isn't guaranteed to carry the family name at the country's most successful club. That's because although it's being reported that he could be on his way to Turkey, it isn't entirely clear that Galatasaray are in fact the club leading the race for his signature. The report suggests that he's the subject of a mega-money offer from an unnamed Istanbul side, with another top club looking to snatch him as well. There are as many as FIVE current top flight clubs based in Turkey's capital. Along with giants Galatasaray, there are major rivals Fenerbahce and Besiktas, with Basaksehir and Kasimpasa also playing in the city.

It's stated that the offer comes "with a lot of money" but Hagi has yet to make a decision amid interest from another club outside Turkey. It's believed a club from one of Europe's top five leagues - potentially the Bundesliga - have also shown interest and are still in talks with the player.

Hagi said recently : "I haven't made any decisions yet. "Discussions are ongoing with Legia Warsaw and other clubs. "I don't want to rush, because I want to be careful when making a decision. I hope to start the next season right and find the club and manager with whom I can continue to develop and play to my maximum ability.

"To the staff, players and everyone behind the scenes - thank you for your support and professionalism. "To the fans - your passion and loyalty are unmatched.

He made more than 130 appearances for the club and helped Rangers to clinch the Premiership title in 2021. A statement on Rangers website said: "After various conversations, both the club and Ianis have decided to part ways and mutually agreed to bring their time together to an end. "It's after years full of great achievements and tough moments, always driven by the same ambition and commitment to the team." Kris Boyd says Rangers players were in SHOCK that 'ghost goal' against Hibs wasn't given Meanwhile, there could be developments in the race to find Rangers next manager. SunSport revealed it had come down to a head-to-head between Steven Gerrard and Russell Martin. But Reports in Spain suggest that Davide Ancelotti could yet still be in the frame for the job. It is believed he will still link up with his legendary father Carlo at the Brazil national team for World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay before setting out on his own this summer.
