Rangers' Europa League rivals FCSB have emerged as possible transfer suitors for Ianis Hagi.

The Romanian club could make a late swoop for Hagi with the player frozen out at Ibrox.

Philippe Clement has informed the playmaker he is not part of his plans at Rangers with an exit possible before the summer window deadline.

Hagi had been heavily linked with a move to Rapid Bucharest but turned down the option to leave Ibrox.

Now, though, it's claimed FCSB - formerly Steaua Bucharest - could try and lure Hagi to Romania with talks planned with the midfielder's father Gheorghe Hagi.

Speaking to gsp.ro, owner Gigi Becali said: "I'm going to talk to Gica, if he wants, we'll make an agreement.

"Look, I'm forcing Ianis to start in all eight European matches.

"And Gica should decide his change, let him decide when he leaves the field."

Rangers will face FCSB in the Europa League league phase after their eight ties were revealed on Friday afternoon.

Taking to Instagram, Hagi addressed the ongoing transfer speculation, writing: "I've been aware of the noise and speculation regarding my situation, my role and my contract in the club.

"I have loved playing for Rangers and the Ibrox fans since the moment I got here. I want to make it clear, I have never once asked to leave this football club. I will always make myself available, and there's always a way to navigate around any situation if there's a will on both sides and that was communicated officially weeks ago by me and my team. 

"I'm here, willing, and Rangers Ready to help, work and fight for the club, team and manager."
