The Turkish media claims that despite being linked to Rangers defender Rıdvan Yılmaz during this transfer window, Besiktas is still attempting to sign him.
Even though Philippe Clement has started the Turkey international in the last six league games, there have been rumors in recent weeks that Rangers may be looking to let him go. Additionally, he began the Europa League match against Manchester United last week.
The Black Eagles are reportedly still in transfer negotiations with Rangers, according to Takvim’s report on the most recent events surrounding Besiktas’ pursuit of the 23-year-old.
Besiktas is reportedly seeking a loan agreement through the end of the current campaign; there are no rumors of a summer buy option.
Rangers may also consider a free transfer, according to the Turkish media site, however this is extremely improbable considering the transfer sum they had to pay for him.
Before moving to Ibrox in 2022, the teenage left defender played 62 games for the Istanbul team after graduating from Besiktas‘ junior system. Reports of a return to Turkey are common, but when Besiktas’s expectations of a deal collide with Rangers‘ reality, plans usually fall through.
Yilmaz is under contract with Rangers through June 2027 and has made 15 appearances for the Scottish team so far this season.
