Como winger Samuel Ballet has revealed he's held talks with clubs after being quizzed about Rangers' interest in him.
The Swiss winger has returned to the big-spending Serie A club after spending the season on loan to FC Zurich in his homeland.
He seems certain to leave Como who have just splashed out £17 million on another winger - ex-Celtic star Nicolas Kuhn.
The 24-year-old has been linked with a move to Rangers, Norwich City and Trabzonspor over the summer and was asked directly about those clubs' interest in him in an interview in Switzerland.

Ballet said: "All I can say is that discussions are ongoing.
"However, I'm not fully informed about everything. I'm still on holiday right now.
"It can go either way. I still have two years left on my contract with Como. Playing time is the most important thing for me. Let's see what the next few days and weeks bring.
"FC Zurich wanted to keep me after my loan spell, but it was difficult for them to afford the transfer fee.
"I had an extremely good time in Zurich. I could have imagined another season here, as I've developed a close relationship with many people at the club.
"It's not always easy to deal with the speculation about a transfer to other clubs, even if you have to ignore it as a professional.
"There are people with families here who can probably handle it more easily. It's probably more difficult for younger players."
