Rangers receive no official bids for Borna Barisic as exit rumour mill goes into overdrive
Rangers have received no official offers for the services of Borna Barisic over the past week, according to The Fourth Official.
The online source have reported that two Rangers sources have shut down the rumours, but that things could certainly change if that was to happen at Ibrox.
It had been mooted that Turkish side Trabzonspor had made their move for the Croatian international, but as things stand, he is staying put in Glasgow.
Writing on their official Patreon page late on Sunday night [12 June], The Fourth Official shared the latest regarding offers coming or not coming at Ibrox.
“I know that the rumour mill has been abuzz with stories of Borna Barisic being ready for a new challenge and a bid being received by Rangers for the left-back,” they wrote.
“Apparently, Trabzonspor have made a bid if reports from Turkish media is to be believed.
“However, two separate sources have confirmed to me that Rangers have not received any bid for the defender. That could change obviously given the dynamics of this transfer window, but as of right now, there is no official bid.”
No need.
It was certainly a season where Barisic blew hot and cold in the 2021-22 campaign.
The Croatian had many games to forget, none more so than that heavy defeat at Celtic Park, but he turned things around with a strong end to the season in all competitions.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst will be reviewing his squad as we speak, and there will be some first-team players that are deemed acceptable to move on.
The future of Barisic likely depends on what happens with Calvin Bassey, who will most likely be first choice should he stay at the club with many clubs interested.
Will Barisic want to stay and play second fiddle? That could be the development that changes everything and then we could see some bids coming in to test the Bears.
For now, this looks to be a non-starter, but things can change very quickly in a transfer window, so this is certainly one to watch as we get closer to everything opening officially.
In other Rangers news, this multi-million bid for one Bears player may have been made to unsettle him at Ibrox
