According to Gazzetta dello Sport journalist Nicolò Schira, Italian midfielder Claudio Marchisio has rejected a bid from Scottish Premiership giants Rangers. The 33-year-old is currently a free agent after his contract with Russian Premier League giants Zenit Saint Petersburg was terminated by mutual consent in July, and he has been on a look out for a new club. While the summer transfer window closed on Monday, free agents can be signed anytime, and Rangers were keen to add Marchisio to their ranks. It remains to be seen why the former Juventus star wasn’t keen to link up with Steven Gerrard at Ibrox, but agreeing wages and other personal terms might have been an issue.
