Ianis Hagi is on his way out of Rangers this summer, but his likely next club is raising some eyebrows.
The Romanian winger struggled to get into the starting line-up last season, making just 16 starts in the Scottish Premiership.
While he notched four goals and five assists, it has not been deemed enough to deserve a new contract and Hagi will depart Rangers for free on 30 June.
Hagi set for Legia Warsaw transfer after Rangers exit
Hagi could not convince the hierarchy that he deserved to stay at Ibrox and his five-year spell in Scotland is set to come to an end.
A report from Romanian outlet DigiSport (19 June) claims that Hagi is set for an “unexpected transfer” to Polish outfit Legia Warsaw.
It states that the 15-time Ekstraklasa champions, that are owned by Romanian Edi Iordănescu, are considering the move and have not yet made a final decision.
Rangers won’t regret Hagi exit
While Hagi is a player with obvious talent, he just has not shown it enough for the Light Blues and an exit makes sense for both parties.
The 26-year-old notched 20 goals and 28 assists in 130 matches for the Govan outfit, which is not good enough for a winger of his calibre.
He started the campaign struggling to make it into Philippe Clement‘s team due to a clause in his contract that would be triggered if he played a certain number of matches.
He eventually forced his way back into contention but could not change the decision on his future, as he failed to impress in a dismal season for the Bears domestically.
Hagi will not be short of interest, with Romanian legend Ciprian Marica urging him to join a La Liga club and moves to Genoa and Borussia Monchengladbach mooted.
Steaua Bucharest owner Gigi Becali wants to bring the 26-year-old back to Romania but admitted that it would be difficult to sign the Rangers man, considering the interest from across Europe.
However, one thing is clear, the chapter between him and the Gers is well and truly closed and it is probably for the best, after a disaster of a season for him and the Auchenhowie club.
