A Scotland and Verona player valued at £5.2 million, is one of the new left-back alternatives that Rangers have been closely linked to.

Star player for Rangers Ridvan Yilmaz has been linked to Serie A team Verona, while Josh Doig, his competitor at left defender, has been linked to a move to Glasgow.

The 22-year-old Turkish international left-back is fresh off what Philippe Clement called his “best performance” to date in the victory over Kilmarnock at Ibrox.

A strong performance at Celtic Park earned Ridvan the title of Man of the Match during the match, and going into the January transfer window, Rangers were linked to multiple left-backs.

It’s been an amazing run of games for the former Besiktas left-back Borna Barisic, who is currently sidelined due to injury, but there are now rumors that Italy may be calling.

Verona is looking for Ridvan Yilmaz.

Reputable Italian reporter Gianluca Di Marzio claims that Verona of Serie A is considering Rangers player Ridvan Yilmaz.

Di Marzio states in an excerpt on his official website that Verona is considering Ridvan Yilmaz, and that left-back Koray Gunter is in advanced talks to join Como.

“Verona is very active in these early hours of the January transfer market, with both incoming and outgoing negotiations,” according to Di Marzio. The Turkish left defender Ridvan Yilmaz, who was born in 2001 and is a member of the Glascow Rangers, is the target of the yellow and blues.

“This season, he made 13 appearances and scored one goal between the national cup and the championship. Conversely, Gunter is departing: Como has identified the 1994-born defender as a target, and the negotiations are far advanced.

Rangers plan to switch up the left-back position
The connections between Rangers and Yilmaz, the Turkish international who has been heavily linked to a return to Turkey in recent weeks, come at an intriguing moment.

The season’s contract for Ibrox mainstay Borna Barisic expires at the end of the current campaign, and it’s unclear if he will be extended.

Additionally, a number of fresh left-back options have been firmly connected to Rangers, including Josh Doig, a Scotland and Verona star valued at £5.2 million.

Ironically, Ridvan’s stuttering 18 months in Glasgow have always led to comparisons with Doig, who moved to Italy in the same window as the Turkish talent moved to Glasgow.

This will undoubtedly give the Verona connections with Ridvan Yilmaz a new depth, and if it’s not already published elsewhere, a possible trade will probably be the buzz of the Steam community.

The scenario is definitely worth keeping an eye on, as Gianluca Di Marzio is widely regarded as a reliable source on transfer reports in Italy.

After the game against Kilmarnock, Rangers manager Philippe Clement discussed his team’s January transfer plans and promised to be “very active” in the coming weeks.

Ridvan Yimaz, a left-back, was acquired by Rangers from Besiktas for an initial fee of £3.4 million. The player has made 28 appearances for the Ibrox club.
