Rangers in last-ditch bid to sign Josip Brekalo as Fiorentina freeze him out
Rangers are in a last-ditch bid to sign Josip Brekalo from Fiorentina after he was made “surplus to requirements” in Florence, according to TutoMercatoWeb.
The Italian news website reported on Thursday (29 August) that Brekalo, 26, is no longer in Fiorentina’s plans after being an unused substitute in their first three games of the new season.

It is understood that Rangers are facing competition from Venezia for the Croatian winger’s signature but it “remains to be seen” if anything will happen before the transfer window closes on Friday night (30 August).
TMW adds that a decision will be made on Brekalo’s future if negotiations go well in the final hours of the summer window.

Brekalo would be an interesting signing for Rangers.He’s been around for quite a while so you would presume that he’s older than the age of 26.
The former Wolfsburg winger has cover 120 appearances to his name in the Bundesliga and has played 49 times in Serie A for Fiorentina.
He’s also earned 35 caps for Croatia so this is a player who definitely has good pedigree.
