PAOK Salonika could be preparing for life after Rangers target Antonio Colak. The 28-year-old Croatian forward has emerged as a potential signing for Giovanni van Bronckhorst as he searches for options to bolster his frontline.
Former Malmo loanee Colak scored twice against Rangers in Champions League qualifying last season but his parent club are believed to be open to a sale, with a reported price-tag of around £2million. And if the latest news from Greece proves accurate, they could be well ahead in their succession planning.
Sportdog claim PAOK have identified Senegalese striker Keita Balde Diao. The forward looks set to leave Serie A side Cagliari this summer with a number of clubs named as potential suitors. To land him, it appears PAOK must fend off competition from Sampdoria and clubs in Turkey, but if the 27-year-old were to move to Greece, that could pave the way for Rangers to complete a deal for Colak.
However, Fenerbache have also been linked with the ex-Darmstadt, Hoffenheim and Rijeka as multiple reports from Turkey claim they're willing to pay the £2m fee. Van Bronckhorst has an eye on added striking depth amid uncertainty surrounding Alfredo Morelos ' future.
The Ibrox favourite has entered the final year of his deal and has been linked with Sevilla. However, Rangers chiefs earlier this week rubbished Spanish media claims that the Ibrox club had rejected a £7million offer for their star striker.
