Multiple top half Premier League clubs are swirling around Rangers defender Borna Barisic according to a new report.

The Croatian international full-back is currently on national team duties with the Balkans side but GIVEMESPORT are reporting that the Gers star is a wanted man down south.

According to this particular outlet, Barisic is wanted by three unnamed clubs currently in the top 10 in the megabucks English top flight.

The talented 28-year-old full-back is currently contracted to Ibrox until 2024 and there appears to be no suggestion from camp Borna that he wants to move on from the club.

Couple this with the fact the defender is considered a vital part of this Rangers side and the Gers hold all the aces regarding the player as they hope to qualify for the Champions League next season.

Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has also previously claimed that Borna isn’t motivated by money and his legacy at Ibrox may be more important than slugging it out in mid-table England.

Signed for a reported £2.2m in 2018 after Rangers played NK Osijek in the Europa League, the Croat club’s former captain took his time to settle in Scotland but is now a key member of the squad.

Barisic has five goals and 13 assists for Rangers this season, playing in 45 of the Ibrox side’s 48 games this campaign.

Not only that, but Borna has established himself as Croatia’s first-choice left-back and has now made 17 caps for the country, scoring once.

A proper asset in a position where it’s hard to find real quality, if this interest is legitimate then these three sides better be preparing to stump up.

Barisic isn’t the only Rangers star being linked with the Ibrox exit door as another Gers star is linked with a £9m move to Italy.
