Earlier on Thursday, we covered a story from Turkey stating that Ridvan Yilmaz was waiting for Rangers and Galatasaray to find an agreement for a move.
Despite playing under Philippe Clément, the argument was that he would have a better chance of making his national team set up for the Euros if he was starring at the Süper Lig side, who aren’t overly happy with Angeliño.
Therefore, Rangers are waiting for the right offer, as explained by their manager, and will let him go when they are satisfied, but all this doesn’t help Hellas Verona, as hinted at by Corriere di Verona.
The newspaper, who were once very convinced that the Serie A team could land the Turkish defender, are now reporting the move is ‘more distant’.
Part of that is their inability to sell Josh Doig to date, who was first linked with Marseille and then Sassuolo (who are still trying to get him), as he would have opened the path for the signing of the Rangers man.
Therefore, it appears that, for the time being, it’s Galatasaray or nothing for Yilmaz, who was previously said to be against a return to his home country, but has since been convinced otherwise by Vincenzo Montella, who told him he needs to be playing regularly to make his squad.
