The crisis that Ianis Hagi is going through at Alaves continues. If last year coach Luis Garcia tried the Romanian, lately, the “tricolor” international has lost the battle for a place in the Basque team. In 2024, the Romanian midfielder was not used at all in 6 matches of his formation.

Ianis Hagi was loaned by Alaves from Rangers until the summer to relaunch his career, but worse he buried it. “The Romanian was far below expectations every time he got the chance”was the conclusion of the Spanish press, while the Scots announced that the team he belongs to no longer wants him back.
Spain, a burden for the footballer
“The difference in influence for the Romanian national team and that for Alaves could not be more obvious. Just a few months ago, it was he who sent Romania to Euro 2024 with a beautiful finish against Israel. Moreover, in the last four appearances for the “tricolors”, Hagi has four decisive contributions. It's a lot more than he has in LaLiga – just one assist in his last 16 appearances.
Of the last 630 available minutes, he has played less than 20. A player who arrived with high expectations seems doomed to part ways with Alaves through the back door. It turns out that the stint in Spain will not transform him, but rather a burden for a man who has fallen down the pecking order at Rangers after a serious knee injury.”wrote Rangers News.
6 games in which he did not get any minutes
Ianis Hagi has become a regular on the bench, with coach Luis Garcia choosing not to use him for a single minute in 6 games from 2024. This year, he has only played Betis and Bilbao in the Cup, but also Barcelona and Villarreal in La League, in total, 172 minutes.
Since neither Alaves nor Rangers want him since the summer, Ianis Hagi will have to start over with another team. There is some interest from Boavista, who have expressed their desire to sign him, but with one condition: that his salary of one million euros be paid in large part by the group from Glasgow. However, the Scots do not agree, so the chances of a move to the capital of Portugal are minimal for the Romanian footballer.
The numbers of Ianis Hagi at Alaves
22 matches, two goals against a team from the lower echelons, in the Cup, and a decisive assist was achieved by the Romanian in the shirt of Alaves this season. His salary exceeds one million euros.
