The 22-year-old may only have turned his move to the club permanent in the summer, but it seems he could already seek pastures news, there is interest in the Romanian across Europe.

Sampdoria and Sevilla are said to be keen, while New York City FC, Toronto FC, Cagliari and Istanbul Baskasehir are also supposedly taking an interest ().

Hagi has eight assists and two goals so far in 2020/21, but manager Steven Gerrard has seemed quite taken by Roofe.

It has meant Hagi has had to make do with cameos here and there.

Rangers are in an absolutely brilliant place right now, topping the Premiership by 13 points and in the knockout stages of the Europa League.

The team is free-scoring and solid at the back, and there is real belief at Ibrox that a special season is in store.

Hagi still has a big role to play, and the situation should be revisited at the end of the season.
