Kris Boyd believes the Rangers will struggle to retain Vaclav Cerny on a permanent deal from Wolfsburg.
The ex-Gers man believes the Light Blues will have difficulty acquiring the Czech international after Roger Hannah claimed the Bundesliga club wants £6.75 million for him.
Cerny joined the Bears on loan from the German club last summer and has been an important player for them this season under Philippe Clement.
Boyd told The Scottish Sun SPORT (3 February): “If Cerny needs to return to his club, that’s what will happen.
“He has done himself no harm. He’s definitely given the Rangers a difficulty in terms of the amount they have to pay.”
Rangers to complete Vaclav Cerny’s permanent move
Given the forward’s importance to the Glasgow club, it would be prudent for them to make his transfer permanent for a modest cost.
As things stand, Wolfsburg’s demands may be affected by the Gers’ apparent desire to retain Cerny’s services.
If Nils Koppen and the recruitment staff can lower the 27-year-old’s price down, his signing should be approved promptly.
Rangers may have to take a huge risk on another winger if the Czech star returns.
The forward has scored 13 goals and provided seven assists in 36 appearances for the Light Blues this season, highlighting his significance.
In the absence of the 27-year-old in the starting lineup, Clement has struggled for an appropriate backup on the right-hand side of the attack.
The Ibrox faithful will likely be disheartened if Cerny can’t be signed, but they faced similar heartbreak with Abdallah Sima last summer.
