Ianis Hagi (26 years old) receives excellent news after starting to play for Alanyaspor.
Transferred in the summer by the Turks from Alanyaspor, after being a free agent for a few months, Ianis Hagi is preparing to return to the Romanian national team.
Mircea Lucescu, the national team coach, announced that he plans to call up Ianis for the matches in September.
"I went to Istanbul to see Ianis Hagi. It's noticeable that he hasn't played for three months, but he has put into play everything that characterizes him, especially the precision of his passes. He still has work to do, we also discussed with him, he still needs to recover physically.
He is improving, but let's not forget that he hasn't played for three months. The preparation he did with Farul was more superficial, knowing that you won't play, you don't give absolutely everything. He is an extremely useful player for the national team, a player who loves the national team very much, and this comes primarily from his father who knew how to instill this responsibility and love in him.
Hoping that he will play every game, he will join the national team group that needs him. I called him also for his strength in uniting the group. I don't know to what extent he will be used, we will see about this," stated Mircea Lucescu, according to Fanatik.
Hagi Jr. was absent from the last action of the Romanian national team in September because he hasn't played at all since May.
