Bye-bye: “Outstanding” Rangers player now set to quit Ibrox with eyes on big deal – report

He’s come in for praise in the past.

At the conclusion of the season, one Rangers player is apparently eager to leave Ibrox, and he can actually arrange his next move now.

Rangers January transfer window

Philippe Clement’s first transfer window as Rangers boss ended up being a productive one, with three new players being brought in on loan.

Sam Lammers, Jose Cifuentes, and Adam Devine left on loan until the end of the season, while Oscar Cortes,

Fabio Silva, and Mohamed Diomande came from Wolves, Nordsjaelland, and Lens, respectively.

When speaking about the club’s operations last month, Clement appeared to be in a good mood. He said:

“Great and I’m happy that it’s finished and we know what the squad is to go on for the next four months.

It’s almost going to be a sprint now in the next four months with a lot of games and we know what the squad is.

“We adjusted a few things to get balance in the squad,

we added some young and talented players who can raise their game here and add value to the club and also, in the future,

to bring more money into the club. It’s not the main concern, the main concern is to get results but with a good business plan.”

Rangers, who won the League Cup, are currently challenging Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership.

They are also still in the Scottish Cup and the Europa League.

Even if the last few months of the season appear to be hectic, one player appears to be planning to leave Glasgow.

According to Football Insider in the last 48 hours, left-back Borna Barisic is on course to leave Ibrox for free at the end of the

current campaign and already appears to have his eye on a “bigger deal” elsewhere.

“Rangers left-back Borna Barisic is ready to quit the club this summer when his contract comes to an end, sources have told Football Insider.

The 31-year-old’s deal is up in May and he is now looking to take advantage of his free agent status in the off-season.

Barisic is aware he can get a bigger deal elsewhere if he leaves Ibrox for free.”

Barisic joined Rangers in 2018 and has had great success at Ibrox; nevertheless, it appears that his time in Scotland is running up.

Steven Gerrard, a former manager, and Michael Beale have both praised him in the past.

Gerrard said of Borna, “He is the Croatian left-back and he is used to these high-pressure games. He was outstanding last night.

“The personnel and those in the dressing room hold him in the highest regard.”

“Borna has been consistently our strongest player over the last few weeks, so I think he [Yilmaz] was getting fit,” Beale remarked last year.

Since Ridvan Yilmaz is now Clement’s first choice and there are still ties to left-back Jefte, losing Barisic might not spell disaster for Rangers.
