It has been reported that Rangers have not finalised any agreement with Genk over the permanent signing of the Romania international, who can operate as an attacking midfielder or as a forward.
This new report comes following claim from Romanian super-agent Giovani Becali that Rangers have sealed the permanent contract of Hagi.
Earlier today, The Daily Record quoted Becali as saying: “Ianis has just signed for one of the most important clubs in Europe. The deal is complete.
“I would describe Rangers as the Juventus of Scotland. I understand completely why Ianis has chosen to sign for them.”
Becali is the brother of Steaua Bucharest owner Gigi Becali; Hagi was at the Romanian club in 2007-08.
Permanent Rangers transfer?
Hagi – recently described as “a great talent” by ex-Manchester City striker Rolando Bianchi to The Sunday Post while discussing speculation linking the youngster with a move to his former loan club Lazio – joined Rangers on loan from Genk in the January transfer window, and the Romania international has done relatively well.
The 21-year-old scored one goal in the Scottish Premiership and twice in the Europa League for Rangers this campaign, according to WhoScored.
A permanent move would not exactly be a bad decision from Rangers, although it remains to be seen if the Gers would be willing to spend the £4 million needed to do so, as reported by The Herald.
