Rangers in Advanced Talks to Sign Vaclav Cerny on Loan

Rangers are in “advanced talks” to sign Wolfsburg winger Vaclav Cerny on loan according to Sky Sports, but face a race against time to get a deal done.

 

Philippe Clement is keen to bolster his attacking options at Ibrox this summer amid an ongoing squad rebuild, and 26-year-old Cerny has emerged as a target for the wide areas.

 

A deal is advanced with the Bundesliga club giving the Czechia international the green light to make the move to Glasgow for the entirety of the 2024/25 season.

Rangers to Sign Vaclav Cerny on Loan

The Light Blues are set to take part in the UEFA Champions League qualifying round next month, and their squad list for the next round must be submitted before August 1st.

That leaves the club chiefs in a race against time to get a deal over the line in time for the attacker to be included, with Clement keen to have as many options available to him as possible.

Cerny was part of the Czechia Euro 2024 squad this summer, although he featured just once for 55 minutes during their 1-1 draw with Georgia and was an unused substitute in the other group games as they failed to progress to the knockout stages.

A direct winger, Cerny has been described as “outstanding” by coaches in the international setup and was even named as a UEFA wonderkid during his time in the Ajax academy.

Clement has been open that every first-team player at Ibrox has a price for a potential exit this summer, except goalkeeper Jack Butland, and that has led to plenty of speculation about the future of some key players.

 

James Tavernier could be moved on after nine years with the club amid interest from Trabzonspor, although a bid has been rejected, while some reports claim that Connor Goldson has already undergone a medical in Cyprus ahead of a potential exit.
