Rangers manager Philippe Clement has admitted that Ridvan Yilmaz could leave Glasgow this January, but only if a deal suits the Ibrox side.After Rangers’ 2-2 draw with FC Copenhagen at Ibrox, the Rangers manager was under pressure for the club’s January transfer business..
As part of this, the situation surrounding Ridvan Yilmaz has been highlighted, with the left-back heavily linked with an exit door at Ibrox this month.Reports of rejected bid from Galatasaray have added to Serie A side Verona with strong links.Philippe Clement, Ridvan YilmazWhile the Rangers manager did not directly respond to the links, the manager explained that all his squads are available at the right time at the right price.This also includes Ridvan Yilmaz in the comments, perhaps a subtle nod to the details of Galatasaray’s loan offer not being suitable for Rangers.Until the situation changes and someone either tolerates or shuts up, it is clear that Rangers will not abandon the Turkish team.”I can’t answer that because – not for any player here – I’m busy with one thing,” Philippe Clement said when asked about Ridvan Yilmaz..
“Everyone here is a Rangers player and I’m committed to all the staff to get the best out of them.”But for every Rangers player there’s an offer that can’t be refused or is it good for the club that we have to talk about it.”Right now that’s not the case, so Ridvan is here and he started the game too, so that’s how I see it.”The Rangers manager also had this to say when asked if Ridvan was a player he would like to see:.
“We’ll see. We’ll see what happens. The players also have to show that they really want to be here for the next months, so we have to be ready for everything, every position, so that if something happens we have solutions. It’s one position where we have two players; one is the end of the contract and the other is a lot of rumours. So obviously we have to be ready for solutions.”Later, the manager added: “We cannot continue with one left back in three competitions, that is clear, for example. And it’s the same in other stations.”.
Rangers transfer exit could meanWe really don’t have to read too much between the lines to see that the situation with the future of Ridvan Yilmaz remains Philippe Clement alive.The 22-year-old Ibrox left-back looks like a wanted player, but Rangers will not be forced to sell if a deal doesn’t suit them in this window.It is also clear that the club is looking for a new left-back in the background of the Ridvan Yilmaz situation, and Borna Barisic was also out of contract in the summer.It remains to be seen whether Verona or Galatasaray will meet Rangers’ demands, although a transfer expert has told us the left-back would not want to return to Turkey..
