Agent Confirms Rangers Have Made No Attempt To Sign Vaclav Cerny | OneFootball

Rangers fans continue to monitor transfer developments this summer as Russell Martin begins shaping the squad for the season ahead. With plenty of speculation swirling and a host of names being thrown about, some stories are grounded in reality while others are purely noise. One name that has caused genuine debate is Vaclav Cerny — a player who genuinely impressed during his loan spell at Ibrox last season.

Cerny, currently contracted to Bundesliga side Wolfsburg, was a real standout for Rangers over the course of the campaign. His technical ability, pace, and final product gave the team an extra edge on the flanks, and many supporters hoped a permanent deal might follow. However, his agent has now confirmed that Rangers have made no attempt to re-sign him — and nor has any other club. That silence speaks volumes, but it may not be due to a lack of interest.

In truth, the problem is almost certainly financial. Wolfsburg would expect a significant fee to part with the Czech international, and that figure is likely well beyond what Rangers can afford. While Cerny flourished at Ibrox and clearly suited the Scottish game, his price tag presents a major barrier to a permanent return. His contribution last season means he will not be short of admirers, but Rangers may simply have to accept that they cannot compete for his signature at this time.

With Max Aarons now confirmed and James Tavernier’s future still in question, the club’s focus appears to be on reshaping the defence. The wider summer rebuild is undoubtedly well underway, but unfortunately Cerny is not part of that process.

For anyone hoping a quiet bid was being prepared in the background, this direct report from the player’s agent puts that to rest — there’s been no contact from Rangers or anyone else.
