Sevilla not targeting Rangers midfielder Connor Barron

Reports claiming Sevilla are pursuing Rangers midfielder Connor Barron have been dismissed, as the Spanish club looks at other midfield options.

Sevilla are not currently pursuing Rangers midfielder Connor Barron, despite recent claims suggesting a move was imminent. The 23-year-old does not feature on the list of players being considered by the Spanish club's management to reinforce their midfield this summer.

While Sevilla have previously shown interest in the player, he is no longer part of their current plans at Nervión. Although some reports this week suggested the club had made a move for the midfielder, these claims do not align with the club's actual transfer strategy. The Spanish side is instead focusing on different options for their midfield recruitment.

Financial discrepancies could also present obstacles to any potential deal. Rangers are reportedly asking for €8m for Barron, a figure that sits significantly above his current valuation of €2.5m. Any negotiation would likely require Sevilla to lower that price or pursue a loan structure that includes a mandatory purchase option.

Securing the player could be further complicated by his contract status at Ibrox. Barron is tied to a deal that runs until 2028, and Rangers currently have no urgent requirement to lower their asking price.

While the player is not an active target at this moment, the transfer window remains open. The situation could shift in the coming weeks if Sevilla's primary midfield targets become unavailable.
