Ianis Hagi is on loan at Steven Gerrard’s Glasgow Rangers.

Ianis Hagi of Rangers is seen in action during the Ladbrokes Premiership match between Rangers and Hamilton Academical at Ibrox Stadium on March 04, 2020 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Gheorghe Hagi has said that his son Ianis Hagi is “very happy” at Rangers, as quoted in The Scottish Sun.

However, the former Real Madrid and Romania star has said that the 21-year-old – who can operate as an attacking midfielder or a forward – has other offers.

The Romania international joined Rangers on loan from Genk in the January transfer window.

The youngster is scheduled to stay at Steven Gerrard’s side until the end of the season, with the Gers having an option to secure his services for £4.5 million this summer, according to The Scottish Sun.

The Scottish Sun quotes Gheorghe Hagi as saying about his son Ianis Hagi: “Rangers’ coaches are very happy with Ianis and he is very happy in Scotland. The situation is he is on loan at Rangers and he’s really pleased with what he has found there.

“There’s been far too much talk about his future recently. We will see what will happen. It’s not as if his situation is changing every day.

“His position is that Rangers have it in writing from Genk that they can buy him, so it all depends on Rangers.

“But it’s not as if we are asking them for an answer every day. What I would say is that he is the No.1 player in Romania and has no shortage of offers.”
