BREAKING NEWS: Rangers are expected to extend their offer as Connor Barron faces a tough tribunal hearing.
After Aberdeen turned down Rangers’ initial offer for Connor Barron, Chris Jack of Rangers says the team is “likely to return” with a proposal.
According to the journalist, a new effort is being made to help the two sides resolve their differences without having to go to a tribunal. But if a tribunal is needed, the Gers will provide a compelling case.
Barron’s contract has now been completed, thus it is certain that the young player will play for Rangers in the upcoming campaign.
Since it increases the Scottish quota and helps fill the vacuum created by John Lundstram, the move is a brilliant business decision for Phillipe Clement as an initial free transfer. Especially considering that they were able to sign the young player to a four-year contract.
Should the agreement end up in court, the club may end up with far less from the deal than they had anticipated.
Barron has a bright future ahead of him at just 21 years old, so it goes without saying that the Gers will be hoping to turn a profit on him eventually.
However, the Dons’ move might include a sell-on option if the fee needs to be reviewed by a tribunal.
Furthermore, given that Aberdeen turned down a £500,000 bid for Barron [Daily Record, June 25], the price may well surpass this sum.
