Ex-Rangers star 'in talks' over third stint at his former club

Borna Barisic is thought to be in talks over a return to former side Osijek.

If a deal is agreed and completed, it would mean a third stint at the club in his homeland for the left-back.

After coming through the ranks at his hometown club, the 32-year-old went to BSK Bijelo Brdo. He signed for Osijek in 2013 and starred for two years before winning a big move to Dinamo Zagreb.

Game time was hard to come by at the Croatian giants and he would return to Osijek. It was there where he impressed Steven Gerrard in a European tie against Rangers and ended up signing for the club.



Barisic is now reportedly in talks over a return to his formative club after his release from Trabzonspor.

He moved to Turkey on a free last summer, along with teammate John Lundstram, after six years at Ibrox. But the move turned sour and the full-back hardly featured. He had his contract mutually terminated this summer and is a free agent.

Sportske Novosti is now reporting that Osijek are in talks with the player over him returning for a third spell. Barisic has actually been training with his former club for a few weeks and manager Simon Rozman is keen to sign him up.
