Legia Warsaw manager Edi Iordanescu has revealed he's held talks with ex-Rangers star Ianis Hagi, but conceded he's out of his club's price range.

The Romanian international is a free agent after leaving Rangers this summer and is still on the look out for a new club.

Hagi's former international boss at Romania, Iordanescu, is now in charge of the Polish club and Legia made an approach to sign the son of ex-Real Madrid and Barcelona icon Gheorghe Hagi.

But he's admitted they can't meet Hagi's demands.

Iordanescu said: "I spoke with Ianis. I know he is in a lot of talks with many clubs.

"I can't say anything specific except that I think it will take him some time to make a decision and we have to move on.

"In addition, it is no secret that the salary he is used to and the expectations he has are a bit higher than the club can afford at the moment."
