Rangers are reportedly facing increased competition as they look to secure a deal for Aberdeen star Connor Barron.
The Scotland Under-21 star has been linked with a whole host of clubs as he approaches the final weeks of his current deal at Pittodrie and is believed to have a number of offers on the table. Serie A clubs Bologna and Hellas Verona were linked with a move for the midfielder as they look to make Barron the latest Scottish youngster to be tempted into a switch to Italy’s top tier – but it is Rangers who are believed to be leading the race for the 21-year-old. However, the Ibrox club are yet to agree a fee with their Premiership rivals and that means they could end up being forced into a tribunal to set a fee for the deal
The Daily Record have now claimed four English Championship clubs are preparing an offer for the talented midfielder in a move that would see Aberdeen land just over £500,000 in training compensation. Welsh duo Swansea City and Cardiff City have both been suggested as possible suitors for Barron and Plymouth Argyle and Stoke City are also said to have registered an interest in handing the midfielder a move south of the border. The report also reveals interest from Cagliari has ‘ended’ following the retirement of manager Claudio Ranieri and Sassuolo have ended any efforts to sign Barron after they were relegated into Serie B.
