Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers were linked with the 27-year-old two years ago during Mark Warburton’s reign.
It’s probably fair to say that Rangers’ transfer business since returning to the Scottish Premiership in 2016 has been, well, a bit mixed.
There’s been some good signings, but also plenty of terrible ones, though signing Aaron Mooy might have been the greatest deal of all.
The 27-year-old, a Gers fan, was reportedly a target for former Rangers boss Mark Warburton in 2016 [The Herald Sun] and now he might be joining Manchester City.

According to ESPN, the Premier League champions could trigger their £20 million buy-back clause of the Australia international, who wound up joining Huddersfield Town – then in the Championship – on loan when Warburton was said to be in the running, before making his move permanent last summer.
For £20 million, Mooy represents an absolute bargain for the Citizens, considering the modern transfer market and the fact that he’s in the prime of his career.
Signing a player of that calibre could and would have been a game-changer for the Ibrox outfit and surely he represents one that got away for the Premiership side.
