Scottish journalists have been shocked by the amount Ianis Hagi is earning at Rangers, a player whose contract with the Scottish club is ending this summer and is unsure if he will continue with the multiple Scottish champions.
There have been rumors in the past that the „King’s” son would have a salary of nearly 1.4 million euros per year. And in this context, the Scots say that Hagi is an excellent negotiator, even if he had to give up part of his salary to return to Rangers’ first team, back when Philippe Clement was the coach.
Without specifying the exact salary the Romanian would receive, the British press recalls Gheorghe Hagi's great performances, something his son is still associated with:
"We don't know exactly how much Hagi receives, but we know he's not doing badly. The main assumption is that Hagi is a better negotiator than a footballer. Or maybe he does something off the field that compensates for the difference. Either way, Hagi is doing well, while Danilo might wonder why the difference in their salaries is so significant."
Let's talk about Hagi. He comes from a royal football family. Hagi carries a kind of winning ticket. When scouts and fans hear his name, they immediately associate him with Hagi Senior and his performances. So, what does the son of a football demigod do? Well, it seems he follows in his father's footsteps in the sense of attracting attention. Football is a business, and Rangers are also interested in making money. And that means having players who entertain. It's about branding. And nothing screams 'buy my jersey' more than an interesting player like Hagi," noted the Scots from ibroxnoise.co.uk.
The same Scottish press also mentions the interest of the Romanian owner of Genoa in him, Dan Șucu, who could become a teammate there with Nicușor Stanciu, the captain of the Romanian national team, from this summer. It is not the first time there have been talks of a possible transfer of Ianis to Serie A.
