EPL side reject chance to buy star Ibrox full-back for £5m

The grim reality of Sevco’s transfer situation has been revealed with Watford bidding just £2m for Borna Barisic. 

An offer of £5m would have secured the deal but the EPL side only offered an additional £1.5m in add-ons. They refused to pay £5m for the 29-year-old Ibrox star.

At the same time associated cheerleaders and messengers are trying to claims that £10-12m has been paid up-front for Nathan Patterson with upto £16.5m eventually heading to Ibrox. 

Barasic has been the regular left-back for three and a half seasons but appears to be attracting little interest with a desired transfer fee less than 50% of the up front Patterson price tag. 

The Sun reports:

However, Watford’s initial offer of £2million fell well short of Rangers’ £5m asking price for the Croatia international. 

And although the Hornets went back to the table with £1.5m of add-ons last week, the Scottish champions remained unimpressed with the figures on offer. 

Ranieri and Watford reluctantly pulled the plug on negotiations yesterday after Rangers agreed a £16m deal with Everton for Nathan Patterson – with the move now complete. 

That financial booster has eased the Glasgow giants’ cash flow problems after C**id left them needing to find £7m by the end of the season. 

Watford had hoped to use that to their advantage but Everton’s move has allowed the Light Blues to call the shots and SunSport can confirm the deal for the left-back is now dead. 

Previous moonbeams have linked Roma with a £15m swoop for the Croatian journeyman.
