Rangers: Borna Barisic signing wanted in Turkey before season end as Ibrox exit talks opened

As per Yunus Emre Sel, Trabzonspor has signed Borna Barisic from Rangers to replace Eren Elmalı, who

is anticipated to get offers to relocate to France.

On March 12, the Turkish journalist for Sabah and Fotomac revealed on his YouTube channel that the

Turkish defender is set to leave the Super Lig, with bids expected to get more expensive as the season

draws to a close.

The club has therefore already decided to go after Barisic in his place, with the Croatian’s contract at

Ibrox expiring in the summer and leaving him free to discuss terms with European clubs.

Trabzonspor are looking to sign up to seven players before the current campaign ends, with the Rangers

man an early target and talks set up with his agent already.

outcome despite being open for months [Football Scotland, 3 November].

The Croatian’s delivery is on par with anyone in the SPFL, but he has frequently faced criticism for his

defensive play.

Given that Brazilian Jefte is expected to join at the end of the season, the club can likely afford to let the

31-year-old go now that he has lost his spot to Ridvan Yilmaz.
