# Glasgow Rangers: Napoli eye Borna Barisic

**As per [Il Mattino](https://www.ilmattino.it/sport/sscnapoli/junior_firpo_al_napoli_ultime_notizie_oggi-5325943.html), Glasgow Rangers’ Borna Barisic is being eyed by Napoli.**

Napoli, who of course are [still participating](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%9320_UEFA_Champions_League) in the 19/20 Champions League, are looking for a left-back, and Barisic is said to be on the Serie A outfit’s shortlist.

He is mentioned as a potential option for Gennaro Gattuso as they look to solve their problem in that area of the pitch.

Barisic was a revelation for Steven Gerrard last term, racking up an impressive [14](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/borna-barisic/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/39125) assists in all competitions. This is not the first time he has been linked with a move away from Ibrox, though – in the past, Tottenham and Jose Mourinho are [said to have been admirers](https://www.90min.com/posts/6571738-tottenham-eye-rangers-star-borna-barisic-to-solve-imminent-defensive-crisis?utm_source=RSS).

The Croatian international is currently valued at [£2.16m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/borna-barisic/marktwertverlauf/spieler/39125), but has had a reported price tag of €7m (£6.3m) to €8m (£7.2m) according to Gazzetta dello Sport ([via Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/clubs-dof-remains-contact-rangers-defenders-transfer-belief-hed-cost-e7-8m/)). Were he to depart, it would leave Gerrard with a big hole to fill on the left side of his defence, but it would perhaps be a boost for [new signing](https://rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/rangers-sign-calvin-bassey/) Calvin Bassey. As it stands, he would likely be an understudy to Barisic, but the 27-year-old’s departure would surely make him the prime choice to start on a regular basis.

It remains to be seen exactly what happens with Barisic’s future.
