DORIN GOIAN'S agent claims he is holding talks with clubs in Germany and Turkey in order to facilitate a move away from Rangers for his client.
The Romanian defender has agreed to take a 75% pay cut after the Ibrox club went into administration.
Goian has intimated a desire to remain in Glasgow having been so impressed by Rangers supporters' diligent efforts to help their stricken club, turning down the chance to join his brother in Chinese football. That move would reportedly have allowed him to double his wages.
However, Florin Manea, his agent, appears to be working in the background to secure a move away from Rangers, although Goian will continue to play for the club for the remainder of the season.
"Dorin couldn't risk leaving Rangers now because there is a good chance FIFA wouldn't allow him to play for another club until next season," said Manea. "For now, he has accepted the pay cut, but there are certain conditions attached to it and we will wait to see if Rangers adhere to them.
"There was that proposal from China that was financially tempting, but Dorin refused that from the start because he doesn't want to lose his place in the national team.
"I am currently in discussion with teams in Germany and Turkey, although I don't want to specify which ones. I can say that if Dorin had known what was going to happen at Rangers this season, he would never have left Palermo."
