Hagi has been reportedly the subject of an approach from Poland with Legia Warsaw said to be interested, while clubs in Germany and Turkey have also been keeping close tabs.
He’s certainly not short of options and has been weighing up his next move over the past few weeks, with a big decision to make on his future.
But according to fresh reports from Europe, Hagi may finally be closing in on his next club.
Romanian outlet Fanatik claim his next destination will likely be Istanbul, following in the footsteps of his legendary father Gheorghe.

Hagi Snr ended his trophy-laded career in football at Galatasaray where he lifted another 10 trophies, before taking over as manager on two separate occasions in 2004 and 2010.
But despite his incredible reputation in the Turkish capital, Ianis isn’t guaranteed to carry the family name at the country’s most successful club.
That’s because although it’s being reported that he could be on his way to Turkey, it isn’t entirely clear that Galatasaray are in fact the club leading the race for his signature.
The report suggests that he’s the subject of a mega-money offer from an unnamed Istanbul side, with another top club looking to snatch him as well.
There are as many as FIVE current top flight clubs based in Turkey’s capital.
Along with giants Galatasaray, there are major rivals Fenerbahce and Besiktas, with Basaksehir and Kasimpasa also playing in the city.
It would be both a major shock IF he joined Galatasaray OR one of their closest rivals, given his dad’s connections to Turkey.
It’s stated that the offer comes “with a lot of money” but Hagi has yet to make a decision amid interest from another club outside Turkey.
It’s believed a club from one of Europe’s top five leagues – potentially the Bundesliga – have also shown interest and are still in talks with the player.
