Rangers will be asked by the Romanian FA over whether they will release Ibrox star Ianis Hagi for this summer’s Olympic Games in Japan, according to a prominent journalist.
According to Emanuel Roşu, the Gers will have to make a decision over whether to allow Hagi to go to the Games and likely miss out on the start of the Gers’ Champions League qualifying campaign.
Steven Gerrard’s side kick off their bid for a place in the Champions League groups on the same day as the Olympic semi-finals, but with Hagi potentially missing out on several weeks of pre-season with the Gers, they may opt to keep him in Scotland.
