European club to finalize move for Rangers star this week following offer – report
Besiktas set to finalize decision on Rangers defender Ridvan Yilmaz this week, reports Ajansspor.
A news report on 18 January revealed that a close friend of Turkey international Ridvan Yilmaz contacted him, attempting to persuade him to return to Besiktas.
A loan offer was subsequently presented to Rangers for the 23-year-old to leave during the January transfer window.
Rangers Have No Reason to Loan Out Yilmaz
Rangers have little incentive to let Yilmaz depart on loan this January.
The Turkish defender has demonstrated his value and adaptability, particularly during an injury crisis when he stepped in at right-back.
His versatility makes him an essential utility player, offering vital squad depth and flexibility in a demanding season.
The January transfer window is typically a time for clubs to strengthen rather than weaken their rosters.
Allowing Yilmaz to leave would reduce Rangers’ defensive options and potentially harm their ability to compete effectively across all competitions.
Strategically, retaining Yilmaz aligns with the club’s goal of maintaining a competitive edge.
His ability to cover multiple defensive roles ensures Rangers are well-prepared for the challenges ahead.
Additionally, with no indication of a permanent transfer fee that would justify his temporary departure, keeping Yilmaz is the prudent choice.
His presence provides crucial defensive stability and ensures Rangers have the resources needed to navigate the remainder of the season successfully.
