Rangers transfer latest as Ridvan Yilmaz 'went to wrong place' and updates on Cifuentes, Cortes and Jefte

Wanted Ridvan Yilmaz has been told he 'went to the wrong place' by joining Rangers - and needs a move back to Galatasaray to reignite his career.

Yilmaz has been Philippe Clement's first choice at left-back recently but the Turkish media and prominent figures in his homeland are pushing the agenda that he needs out of Ibrox to play his way into Euro 2024 contention. Galatsaray are keen and feel they have a free run at him now interest from Italy has subsided and Fanatik have been all over it. The latest from them is that they have lodged an offer of €3.5m (£3m) - but that's still well short of Rangers' €4.5m (£3.8m) valuation.

Hull City president Ilicali meanwhile has been speaking to Beyaz TV and he reckons his countryman made the wrong call by leaving Besiktas for Rangers in the first place 18 months ago. He said: "Rıdvan Yılmaz went to the wrong place. He needs to make an urgent comeback, such returns are effective. The Galatasaray management knows best, but he can do good work in the Turkish quota."

Yilmaz's future is likely to be tied directly to that of Jefte. The Brazilian left-back is a target at Ibrox and a deal to sign him is a little complicated. A £400,000 agreement has been struck up with Fluminense but he's on loan at APOEL Nicosia and it's believed they want a similar fee to rip up their loan deal. But Record Sport understands they won’t be difficult to deal with after vowing to support the player’s ambitions to play at the highest level possible.

Jefte was sent for a 12-month stay on the Mediterranean island by his parent last summer as part of a plan to drum up European interest in the highly-rated youngster. APOEL had hoped to make the deal permanent but a FIFA transfer embargo has thwarted their
