Vaclav Cerny has been one of Rangers’ greatest performers this season, but they will have to spend a large fee to secure a permanent deal.
The Czech international joined the Gers on loan from Wolfsburg last summer and has been one of the club’s top performers this season, scoring several goals.
Cerny might cost £6.75 million at Ibrox, and it’s unclear whether the Light Blues will want to invest that much in the future months despite his outstanding performances.
The 27-year-old scored again as the Light Blues defeated Kilmarnock 4-2 at Rugby Park on Wednesday (February 26).
Rangers to pay a substantial price for Cerny transfer.
Gordon Dalziel is hesitant about Cerny’s permanent transfer to the Bears.
The former Gers ace has indicated reluctance to pay a large number of money to recruit the 27-year-old from Wolfsburg.
Dalziel is undecided about the forward’s transfer because the Glasgow club would have to pay £7 million, including his salaries.
Speaking on Open Goal (February 27), the 62-year-old said: “I’m a little unsure about it. It’s more than just the £7 million; it’s also the pay. So it is a complete package. Wages, £7 million, and everything that goes with it.”
Ibrox manager to invest heavily on Cerny.
Cerny has been productive for Rangers this season, and the hierarchy should pursue a trade if possible.
The 49ers are in talks to take control of Ibrox, which might result in more finances available for transfers next summer.
Philippe Clement had a dismal season at the Light Blues and was eventually fired after losing to St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership.
Barry Ferguson has taken over as interim manager of the Bears, and it would be unusual if the Gers icon stayed in the dugout after this season.
With the potential appointment of a new manager, it’s unclear who will stay and depart Ibrox in the coming months.
The incoming head coach may not want a player like Cerny in his team, which might spell the end for the Czech international at the Glasgow club.
Nils Koppen must overhaul the Light Blues’ recruitment system as most recruits have underperformed in previous years.
Cerny may have persuaded the Bears to pay the cash on him, and the Ibrox supporters will definitely want the forward to stay if the club hopes to compete with Celtic.
