Wayne Rooney turns Rangers transfer rival as Clement makes a move to secure another summer deal
Rangers face competition from the former England international this transfer window. Rangers may face competition from Wayne Rooney if they want to sign a summer target. The Light Blues are reportedly looking for Aberdeen midfielder Connor Barron. The Scotland youth international is out of contract at Aberdeen and might follow in the footsteps of Ryan Jack and Scott Wright, who have recently moved from Pittodrie to Ibrox.
According to the Daily Record, Swansea City, Cardiff City, and Stoke City have all made applications. According to the article, former England, Everton, and Manchester United great Rooney may have a say in whether Rangers sign him, as he wants him at Plymouth after being made head coach.
Hellas Verona and Bologna in Serie A also have some interest, but Rangers have made a ‘strong’ offer. Barron can move outside of Scotland for around £500,000 in training compensation, whereas Rangers would need to agree a fee with the Dons or risk a tribunal.
Former Ibrox captain Barry Ferguson said on Go Radio that he wasn’t sure if the midfield star would add to what the club already had. He stated, “I think he’s a good young player; will he truly enhance the Rangers midfield?“It’s difficult when you play for a team like Aberdeen and you come with the pressure and the amount of stuff that is on your shoulders, the demands and expectations.
“He’s a good player, and at the price, I’d probably take a chance on him because he has pleased me when I’ve seen him play for Aberdeen. But it’s a completely different ballgame when you go to the Rangers.”
