This week, rumours circulated that Barisic, who has been with Rangers since 2018, will be meeting with Trabzonspor, the current Turkish champions, to negotiate a summer transfer.
The 31-year-old Croatian international has been at Ibrox since the summer of 2018, but Ridvan Yilmaz’s play has caused him to be benched recently.
Borna Barisic’s contract expires at the end of the current campaign, thus it’s more likely than not that the left-back will leave Rangers in the summer. And Jefte might be on his way in.
Borna Barisic will be replaced by Jefte at Rangers?
The question of who will join the Rangers to take the position of the Ibrox mainstay then arises.
Borna Barisic will have dedicated his prime years to Rangers, and all of that experience will be lost if he departs the team in the summer.
APOEL left-back Jefte, who is only 20 years old, was a strong contender in the January transfer window despite a lot of rumours about players like Ridvan Yilmaz and a move to Galatasaray going forward.
Rangers made a solid offer for the left-back, who has shown promise in Cyprus this season, while he was on loan from Fluminense in Brazil and was not under contract in the summer.
You can be confident that Jefte’s name will be near the top of the list of players predicted to join the squad and replace Barisic should he decide to leave Ibrox.
Nils Koppen, the director of recruitment for the Rangers, has already confirmed his participation in the TransferRoom Summit, which includes this.
Derek Clark claims that Borna Barisic’s counsel will try to “firm up” any exit in Rome, at least that is what he believes.
Borna Barisic’s departure from Rangers is inevitable, and it would mark the end of an era for the Croatian at Ibrox.
Over his six seasons in Glasgow, the left-back has made 230 appearances for Rangers, including 29 this season, and he has scored 10 goals for the team.
