“The truth is there were serious options for me, but my club acted immediately and in February, as soon as the transfer deadline ended, I signed a new contract with Rangers for four years.
“I’m very satisfied at Rangers. It’s great and I have a wonderful relationship with my manager, teammates, club and the fans. I enjoy it and I have nothing to complain about.
“Of course, if you play well there are offers and it’s clear that if I wanted to progress to an even higher level I would have to leave sometime, but when that will be, I don’t know.”
