Ianis Hagi's agent has confirmed he will return to Rangers at the end of the season after an underwhelming loan spell in Spain.
The Romanian star is on loan at Alaves after being sent to La Liga at the start of the season, but the 25-year-old has only managed to score in one game out of the 22 he has played for them when he netted a double in a 10-0 rout in the Copa del Rey.
He hasn't started a league game since January and hasn't appeared on the pitch for Alaves in almost a month.
Speculation was rife that Hagi would be signing for his famous dad Gheorghe's former club Galatasaray at the end of the season rather than return to Ibrox.
He was born in Istanbul and his father played for and managed the Turkish giants.
However, his agent Victor Becali has confirmed Hagi will go back to Rangers when his loan deal ends at the end of the season. The 25-year-old still has two years left on his deal in Glasgow.
He said: "Ianis' situation is clear - he returns to Rangers at the end of the season.
"He is on loan at Alaves, he returns to his team and no, it won't be Galatasaray.
"The Turkish media have written for years about Ianis going to Galatasaray. There is no contact and there never has been."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
