The Hagi Rumour Centre switches from Turkey to Spain

The Ianis Hagi transfer rumour is back in action with Spain and Celta Vigo getting slotted into the usual template.

In December the midfielder extended his contract but has yet to play more than 45 minutes (against Partick Thistle) since Micky Beale took over as manager.

Hagi is reported to be fit and available but with Nico Raskin and Todd Cantwell the new wonder-boys he has barely had a look in at first team action.

Earlier this month against Celtic Hagi suffered the embarrassment of sitting on the bench while Scott Wright, Antonio Colak and John Lundstram were thrown on try and rescue a point.

Summing up the latest yarns to emerge from the Hagi Media Centre in Bucharest, The Sun reports:

There’s been speculation about the 24-year-old’s future next season and he was at the centre of controversy last month when his famous father – former Real Madrid and Barcelona legend Gheorghe Hagi – had a public bust-up with Romanian boss Edi Iordanescu following his omission from the national squad.

Now reports in Spain have suggested La Liga side Celta Vigo want Hagi for next season and believe they can get him for £3 million.

PSG executive Campo has an unusual position in that as well as the key role for the big-spending Ligue 1 club, he also works as an advisor for Celta Vigo.

And it’s been reported that Hagi has been personally recommended by Campo for a switch to Spain next season.

Portuguese talent spotter Campo is expected to leave PSG in a shake-up in the summer and channel his energies into Celta Vigo, who currently sit 12th in the Spanish top flight.

Turkey and Galatasaray were selected for the March transfer rumour with Real Madrid, Manchester City and Spurs previously linked with Gheorghe’s boy.

After spending £6m on Hagi, Genk sold the midfielder to Ibrox a year later with Eboue Kouassi brought in from Celtic as his replacement.
