Roma to bid for Rangers defender Borna Barisic?

Rangers defender Borna Barisic has allegedly emerged as a transfer target for Roma.

The Croatian has spent the last 18 months at Ibrox, making a total of 47 starts and two substitute outings for the Scottish giants in all competitions.

However, it appears that Rangers may have to fend off interest in the 27-year-old's signature at the midway point of the season with Roma said to be monitoring the situation.

While attempting to play down any talk of a transfer, agent Ives Cakarun told RomaPress: "It's only interest at the moment."

Barisic has a contract at Rangers until the end of the 2021-22 campaign.
