Rangers are lining up a potential swoop for free agent Claudio Marchisio, per RMC Sport.
What’s the word?
Marchisio last played for Zenit St Petersburg but left the Russian club at the end of the 2018/19 season.
He endured an injury-hit campaign due to knee issues but the 33-year-old now finds himself in demand.
The report states that Ligue 1 club AS Monaco are in talks with the former Italy international, who won 55 caps for his country, though Steven Gerrard’s Rangers are also credited with an interest.
A classy operator
Marchisio brings with him a wealth of experience and a bulging trophy cabinet.
He made his name at Juventus, making 389 appearances for the Serie A giants, winning seven Italian league titles, four Italian cups, and three Italian Super Cups. Zenit also won the Russian title last season.

If he can stay fit, he would be an asset to any team, particularly Rangers.
An excellent distributor of the ball and an effective screen to a defence, one believes that he would take to Scottish football.
It remains to be seen if they can beat Monaco to the punch.
