A cut-price deal for Rangers to sign Connor Barron may be on the table as Aberdeen do not want to lose him for free, according to Football Scotland.
The media outlet reported on 13 December that the 21-year-old has switched agencies just ahead of the January transfer window.
The Scottish midfielder has made nine league appearances this season with his most recent one being on 3rd December v Hibs.
Worth considering
Signing Barron might not be the worst idea for Rangers as at 21 years old, the midfielder is a promising Scottish talent with international experience, having represented Scotland at the under-21 level.
His versatility as a midfielder could offer valuable depth to the Gers squad, providing options for rotation and tactical flexibility.
Additionally, acquiring Barron on a potential cut-price deal in January, with his contract expiring in the summer, could represent good value for Rangers.
Given the financial constraints in modern football, securing a talented player without a hefty transfer fee can be a strategic move.
If the club manages to secure him amid reported interest from other teams, it could prove a prudent move to bolster their squad with young, Scottish talent for both immediate impact and long-term prospects.
Homegrown quota is an important box to check in European competitions and the Aberdeen midfielder fulfils that criteria as well.
