Rangers transfer news as £4million 'target' holds exit talks while Barisic and Lundstram 'unwanted' in Turkey
The Colo Colo star has already won seven caps for Chile at senior level Reported Rangers transfer target Vicente Pizarro is reportedly holding crunch talks over his future. Sources in South America had linked Gers with the Chilean midfielder - who plays for league champions Colo Colo - last month, with Serie A side Udinese also said to be keen admirers. The 22-year-old has already racked up over 100 appearances for his boyhood club and has also won seven caps for Chile at senior level. Prior to his exit as part of the 49ers Enterprises ownership shake-up, former Ibrox sporting directo r Nils Koppen jetted out to South America at the end of May for a transfer summit, where chiefs from clubs including Liverpool, Arsenal and Bayer Leverkusen gathered to share information on potential targets. And while Pizarro wasn't thought to be on Rangers' radar at the time, a fresh report claims that the player - who is the son of Chile's minister for sport Jaime Pizarro - could be on the move this summer. Chilean outlet Trifuno claim that Pizarro's representatives have held discussions with club president Anibal Mosa about ramping up interest in the 5ft 8" midfielder. Pizzarro is under contract at Colo Colo until December 2027 and reports last month claimed that the Chilean side have placed a $5.5million (£4million) price tag on his head. Boss Russell Martin has seen his midfield ranks bolstered with the arrival of Dundee star Lyall Cameron and the ex Scotland international is poised to be reunited with Bournemouth's Joe Rothwell - who is closing in on a move to Ibrox after previously playing under Martin at Southampton. Meanwhile, former Rangers duo Borna Barisic and John Lundstram are both expected to leave Trabzonspor this summer - with the former reportedly attracting interest from the Middle East. Both players arrived in Turkey 12 months ago following their departures from Ibrox under freedom of contract. However, it proved to be a disappointing campaign for both, with midfielder Lundstram facing calls to have his contract TERMINATED from sections of the club's fanbase just weeks after his arrival following Trabzonspor's Conference League exit to Swiss side St Gallen on penalties. Croatia international Barisic endured a torrid year with injury and made just 15 appearances in total before being shipped out on loan to La Liga outfit Leganes, where he suffered a serious cruciate ligament tear that ended his participation in the remainder of the season just 10 minutes into his debut against Valencia. The full back is still yet to fully recover from that injury and neither he or Barisic have been snapped with the rest of their teammates following Trabzonspor's return for pre-season training. Turkish outlet Karadeniz claim that Barisic could leave the club on a free transfer if a mutual agreement can be struck. The defender has a year remaining on his deal and will reportedly require Trabzonspor to pay him €1.8million upfront to release him from his duties. Lundstram is under contract until 2027 and the report adds that while no offers have been submitted, clubs in the Middle East are keeping tabs.

Felipe Salomoni is La U's new signing César Luis Merlo confirmed the deal this Monday, detailing that he joins La U on a one-year loan, with the possibility to exercise a purchase option at the end of the loan period. The 22-year-old left back came up through the youth ranks at River Plate, but never played in the first team in Argentina.

Focusing on U. Española and the Superclásico: good news for U de Chile
After the good triumph, with a comeback, against Deportes Iquique in the last match of the first round, Universidad de Chile will have a short week-long break. After that, they will return to work to catch up with the calendar and play the two pending matches, against Unión Española (for the fourth match) and the Superclásico against Colo Colo (suspended on matchday 7). Advertisement Looking ahead to the return to competition, there is good news for the team led by Gustavo Álvarez. La U recovers its main figures Against Iquique, La U did not have several of its usual starters, such as Leandro Fernández, Fabián Hormazábal, Charles Aránguiz, and Franco Calderón. All of them will be back and available for the coach for the match against Unión Española, which will be on Saturday, July 5, at Santa Laura. Journalist Marcelo Díaz from TNT Sports pointed out the importance of some of these players in the functioning of the blue team: "Hormazábal is the one with the most centers, Fernández has the most assists and shots on goal, the one with the most interventions and passes is Aránguiz. So La U loses a lot without these three players," he said. Advertisement "And with the absence of Franco Calderón, who provides defensive solidity at the back, there were four important losses, plus Maximiliano Guerrero who was suspended, although he has not been a starter in this season," he added. On the other hand, Rodrigo Contreras' absence for the next match has already been confirmed, as he was sent off against Iquique. After the match against the Spanish team, U de Chile will play the Superclásico against Colo Colo on July 12 at the Estadio Nacional, and then return to international activity to face Guaraní from Paraguay, seeking a place in the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana 2025.

Arturo Vidal slams referee after red card in Colo Colo 👀
Colo Colo did not have a good day this Sunday in their visit to Audax Italiano at the Bicentenario de La Florida. The team of Jorge Almirón fell 2-1 in a match with a heated ending, although things seemed to be going better just a few minutes before, when they had tied through Francisco Marchant, who scored his first goal with the Cacique jersey. But Audax regained the lead with a goal from Leonardo Valencia, and minutes later Arturo Vidal was sent off. Advertisement The unusual thing was the way the 'King' saw the red card, after receiving a second yellow card for protesting the first one. Vidal started a strong discussion with referee Fernando Vejar and left the field in a state of confusion. Arturo Vidal will miss the next game for the Whites, which will be the classic against Universidad Católica, in the pending match of the 5th round of the 2025 First Division. If he doesn't receive more than one game, he will be available again for the other classic, against Universidad de Chile, in the other postponed match, of the 7th round. Vidal spoke to the media after the match and placed the blame for what happened on the referee, whom he criticized for his reaction and lack of character. Advertisement "If a referee doesn't have the character to referee a Colo Colo match, I think he shouldn't referee. In second or third division he could, if he doesn't like the pressure. If he can't handle a high-level player, or a captain who tells him things, and he gives him a yellow card for that, I think it's crazy. Hopefully, in the next matches, we'll get better referees".
