The hopes of the rangers of landing highly qualified as the Italian defender Nicolo Bertola seem to be beaten after Inter Milan showed an interest in the man of Spezia.
The technical director of Ibrox, Nils Koppen, had identified the central half for a possible transfer to Glasgow this summer, with the Ibrox Club seeking to take the player for nothing when his contract expires at the end of the season.
But Bertola's shape with the team is currently in third place in the second level of Italian football has not gone unnoticed.
It is believed that the reigning champions have contacted the representatives of the 21 -year -old and now seem intention to take him to San Siro.
Bologna and Torino are also admirers of the Italy of 6 feet and 4 feet under 21 years of international, which means that Koppen and the Philippe Clement manager will have to launch their network to reinforce their team for the next season.
As things are, Clement can count on John Souttar, Robin Propper and Clinton Nsiala in the central defense.

High flight investors admit that the rangers were the ones who escaped
A possible investor in the rangers, businessman Scott Galloway states that it would cost between £ 8 million and £ 40 million to become a “legitimate part” of the club.
Son of a Scottish immigrant, based in Galloway, based in the United States, he is a marketing professor at the Stern Business School of the University of New York, as well as an entrepreneur, host of Podcast and public speaker.
Last year he revealed that he had discarded plans to invest in Rangers when he was warned that he would become the “most hated person in the United Kingdom.”
Since then, he * has invested on the Colombian side of equity as part of a Hollywood consortium that included Wrexham Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mcelheny and Eva Longoria's duo.
Admitting that the Rangers were the one who escaped, Galloway told the podcast Prof G: 'I always wanted to invest in a football team.
'I love football, I recently went to a PSG game with my older one.
The potential inverter Scott Galloway admits that he had asked about putting money in Rangers
Galloway joined Rob Mcelhenney, Ryan Reynolds and Eva Longoria in the investment in the Colombian club La Equidad
'We have joked about it and we laugh, but he had asked about investing in Rangers in Glasgow.
'But, frankly, I'm not in that kind of weight.
'Rangers would need to find a sum of money of eight figures.
'It must obtain $ 10 million to $ 50 million (£ 8m to £ 40 million) to be a really legitimate part of its owner group.
“So that is out of my weight, much less a Premier League team that is now looking for billions.”
Last year, Galloway remembered how an unidentified Scottish historian deterred him from getting involved in Ibrox.
He said: “I gathered the richest and most famous Scottish peoples in the United States, about 14 of us, and said:” We are going to buy FC Rangers, because it is a public contributed company. “I had everything resolved, a convertible note of £ 10 million.
“Then a friend of mine who is a famous Scottish historian said:” He would be the most hated person in the United Kingdom “
“He says:” You don't know anything about football, you would be an American idiot there “and I was, like, yes, you are right.”
At least, Nick Walsh, happy and happy, has done a good thing for the rangers
Nick Walsh is not exactly the most popular man within Ibrox at this time after standing with his decision to send Mohamed Diomande in Tannadice last Sunday.
The fact that the decision was revoked in the appeal does not change the fact that it should not have gone so far.
After being called to his side monitor, the referee had many opportunities to see that there had not been much in the shock of the ivory with Kevin Holt.
The Walsh referee's red card for Mohamed Diomande de Rangers has been rescinded since then
But the official inadvertently helped the rangers when he sent Machida de Union Saint Gilloise
Walsh also sent the English defender of Union Christian Burgess in the same game with Braga
However, the Happy Card de Walsh approach has at least made the Rangers a favor in last week.
He was the man in the middle of the Europa League of Union Saint-Gilloise with Braga last week, which the Belgians won 2-1.
In a fuel end for the contest, the Scottish official sent two players from each side.
That means that two defenders of the Union, Christian Burgess and Koki Machida, are suspended from the final game of the group.
Union has made the trip to Glasgow in full form. They are third in the Belgian league with only three losses in total.
Tied with the Rangers at 11 points, they also need a victory on Thursday night and must expect other results to open their way if they have any possibility of finishing in the top eight.
His chances of doing so have not been helped by Walsh's interventions last week.
Kamara remains the excellent example of the perfect pre -contract agreement
With limited resources for a club of size, the best opportunity of the Rangers to ensure the value for money in the transfers market is with firms prior to the contract.
That is why Philippe Clement is anxious to reach an agreement with Lyall Cameron, since Dundee's highly qualified midfielder enters the last six months of his contract.
The Ibrox Club has had mixed fortunes with its work at Windows in the previous January, let's not mention the Aaron Ramsey loan agreement, but picking up the players at a low price when their existing agreements are exhausted has a good commercial sense.
The best example was Glen Kamara, also collected from Dundee. After agreeing a summer transfer with the midfielder in January 2019, the head of the Rangers, Steven Gerrard, brought the progress by offering the Tayside club only £ 50,000 at the end of the month.
Midfielder Glen Kamara turned out to be an excellent acquisition for the Duende Rangers
The Ibrox club expects Lyall Cameron to have the equally successful if it joins Dens Park
How Dundee allowed such a valuable asset to be for relative cents is to assume that no one supposes, but very soon Kamara showed much more. His teammate, Scott Arfield, described him as “the theft of the century.”
Kamara joined Leeds United for £ 5.5 million and then Rennes for even more. After six months at the French club, he is now being linked to a transfer to England, where Southampton and Ipswich Town are among those accredited with an interest.
While the Rangers pursue another January acquisition by Dens Park, he is tempting to draw a parallel, but we are not going overboard. While Cameron is a sensible objective, he probably does not have the sale value of his predecessor and will certainly not be acquired for peanuts.
The 22 -year -old Scottish would cost the Rangers a decent sum in compensation, as Connor Barron did when he moved to Ibrox from Aberdeen last summer. A SPFL court ordered the Ibrox Club to pay £ 640,000 for Barron, with the potential of £ 250,000 more in accessories.
Dundee will argue that Cameron, which is also being attacked by Aberdeen, should be worth something similar.
Given how much time and money they have invested in their development, they can hardly be blamed for believing.
Machine Wilkinson is putting everyone on the sword
During a season of challenge for the title, when they correspond to win well, win ugly and, perhaps the most important thing, win when they are not at their best, Katie Wilkinson is just what the women of the Rangers need.
The 30 -year -old striker, signed from Southampton last summer, is a change of play, a manufacturer of difference, a scorer of all kinds of goals, even when his team has a lower performance, since they were against the Spartans the last Sunday.
Jo Potter's side did a hard work of the first half in Edinburgh. Even after the Spartans made Kate Fraser sent just before part time, visitors had to stay patients and wait for their progress.
When it arrived, it was not a surprise to see him courtesy of Wilkinson, whose double in the six-minute space took his account for the season at 31. Two minutes of time, Jane Ross sealed a 3-0 victory.
Katie Wilkinson is resulting to be a real star for the Rangers after scoring some important goals
Wilkinson had demonstrated his quality in the Sky Sports Cup semifinal seven days before, when he scored an impressive free kick in the 2-1 triumph of the Rangers over Celtic.
Against a stubborn side that defended himself for their lives with only 10 players, Wilkinson's objectives underlined their predatory instincts. The first was a header, the second one deviated shot. The teammate Chelsea Cornet later described her as 'a goal machine'.
Potter admitted that the Rangers had been below the pair and that Wilkinson had been necessary to do the job. “Even when we are not playing particularly well, it will appear with a couple of goals,” said the manager. “The moment of quality was the difference for us because we were not in that.”
The double of the English striker could be invaluable in a race for the title that is becoming stricter per week. With the leaders Glasgow City losing to Hibs, the rangers in second place are now only two points of the rhythm.
The next for the Potter team is a draw of the Scottish Cup at home with Montrose on Sunday.
