Ertugrul Dorgan says Turkish Super Lig club have 'done the hard part'' but wouldn't confirm if either of Ibrox duo had signed.
Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Dogan responded to questions over a double swoop for John Lundstram and Borna Barisic by revealing they hope to have wrapped up their transfer business in the coming days.
The Rangers pair are both out of contract at Ibrox this summer and are widely expected to head elsewhere. Lundstram has been in talks over a new deal, but no agreement has been reached and his exit seems imminent. Reports claim the 30-year-old Lundstram will pen three-year deal with the Super Lig outfit and Barisic, 31, a two-year. Fans quizzed Dorgan directly on whether Lundstram and Barisic would be signing up for next season at a supporters event.
And the ambitious president replied: "It would not be right for me to confirm names here. Some are right, some names are wrong. But with regard to the names mentioned, I can only say we are working in coordination with the manager, Abdullah Avcı. We plan to complete most of the transfers for the new season in the coming days.
"The aim is to start the season with a ready-made squad that the entire technical team has approved for the pre-season camp. Therefore, we are progressing that aspect of the work quickly with our manager and his team. "We've done the hard part. Our aim is to give good news to the community of Trabzonspor supporters very soon."
