European club try to 'part ways' with former Rangers duo after nightmare season

Trabzonspor are reportedly looking to part ways with former Rangers duo Borna Barisic and John Lundstram this summer. 

Barisic joined the Turkish outfit two years ago, but spent the second half of last season on loan at Leganes in Spain. Lundstram moved to Trabzonspor a year after the left-back. 

Now, according to Karadenizgazete, Trabzonspor are looking to get rid of the pair ahead of the new season. 

It is said that they could pay off Barisic for the last year of his contract, which would cost them €1.8 million.

Lundstram, on the other hand, would have to be sold, as he has two years left on his deal. Karadenizgazete says he has received several offers from Arab clubs.  

The midfielder, whose goal against RB Leipzig sent Rangers to the 2022 Europa League final, has made 44 Trabzonspor appearances since his move. 

They finished seventh in the Turkish top flight last term, though, and were denied European football after losing in the UEFA Conference League play-offs to Swiss outfit St. Gallen. 

Trabzonspor also lost the final of the Turkish Cup 3-0 to Galatasaray, marking a nightmarish season. 

Now, ex-Rangers pair Lundstram and Barisic could be set to flee the scene.
