Rangers are bracing themselves for a battle for the signing of Rıdvan Yılmaz with Galatasaray now showing an interest in the left-back.
The Turkish international has failed to dislodge Borna Barisic as the first-choice left-back at Ibrox following his £5million move from Besiktas 18 months ago - with Gio van Bronckhorst, Michael Beale and Philippe Clement all sticking with the experienced Croat.
And with Barisic nearing the end of his Rangers contract Belgian boss Clement looks to be planning an overhaul of the position with Josh Doig tipped to leave Hellas Verona for the Scottish Premiership side.
Yilmaz had been linked with a loan in the opposite direction - and as a potential makeweight in a deal - but the Serie A side now face a challenge to get the deal over the line with the Istanbul giants reportedly showing an interest.
