Former Rangers defender Borna Barisic is facing a challenging time as he grapples with limited playing opportunities at Trabzonspor, leading to speculation about his potential departure from the club. The 32-year-old Croatian international, who left Rangers in the summer after a remarkable 236 appearances for the team, has found himself on the sidelines under the management of Senol Gomes, who has only granted him a mere 19 minutes of playtime since taking charge in September.
Barisic’s Situation at Trabzonspor
Despite making a move to Trabzonspor along with teammate John Lundstram in pursuit of new challenges, Barisic has struggled to secure a spot in the starting lineup under the 72-year-old manager. His lack of game time culminated in a brief one-minute appearance as a substitute in a recent defeat against Galatasaray, further highlighting his limited role within the team.
Potential Return to First Club Osijek
Amidst speculations about his future, there is a possibility of an emotional homecoming for Barisic as he considers a return to his first club, Osijek. The Croatian side is reportedly looking to sell their current left back, Roko Jurisic, opening up opportunities for Barisic to make a comeback. With several European teams expressing interest in his services, Barisic’s potential move back to Osijek could mark a significant chapter in his footballing journey.
In the midst of uncertainties surrounding his playing career, Barisic’s resilience and determination to navigate through challenging situations serve as a testament to his unwavering passion for the sport. As he contemplates his next steps, the footballing world eagerly awaits to see where this talented defender’s path will lead him next.
