Rangers: Turkish club very keen on Borna Barisic
A Turkish top flight club are now very keen to sign Borna Barisic from Glasgow Rangers this summer.
The Lowdown: Not the best season
Barisic did not have the best season individually for the Ibrox outfit, despite them getting to the UEFA Europa League final and winning the Scottish Cup.
BBC Scotland’s chief sports writer Tom English described him as looking ‘punch-drunk‘ during an abject performance against bitter rivals Celtic in the Scottish Premiership, while he was also criticised by The Rangers Review journalist Jonny McFarlane during the UEL final loss against Frankfurt.
It is safe to say that the Croatia international has struggled in big games, and so Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s team may now be looking to part ways.
The Latest: Trabzonspor interest
As per Football Scotland, Trabzonspor are now ‘weighing up’ a move for Barisic, and are ‘very keen’ to lure him to Turkey.
They are ‘likely’ to come in with an offer, which comes after the Light Blues rejected a £2m bid from Watford for Barisic in the January transfer window.
The Verdict: Get rid
The Teddy Bears have been heavily linked with a move for Stoke City left-back Josh Tymon, and so should they sign him and manage to keep Calvin Bassey on their books, then Barisic will no longer be needed.
Should Rangers start Barisic?
Yes
No
The 29-year-old only has two years left remaining on his contract with the Gers, and so the summer provides the optimum time to sell in order to get his maximum worth.
Nonetheless, some of his performances last term were quite frankly disappointing, and so his time at the club could well be up.
