The midfielder has suitors in Italy but the Light Blues appear to be inching closer to a deal.
Rangers have reportedly ramped up their interest in Connor Barron after the end of his Aberdeen contract.
Any move to Italy would see Aberdeen recoup a compensation payment that could be as high as £500,000 due to cross-border rules - but the Light Blues appear to now be leading the race for Barron. The Sun report that Rangers are "ready to step up their interest" in the out of contract star - with Philippe Clement's side "at the front of the queue" for a deal.
