49ers Enterprises Urged to Secure Bargain Deal for Vaclav Cerny at Rangers
Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises have been advised to finalize a cut-price transfer for Vaclav Cerny at Rangers next summer.
The American consortium is in advanced discussions to acquire a controlling stake in the club and should prioritize signing the Czech international once his loan spell ends this season.
Cavenagh and Paraag Marathe are expected to inject much-needed financial resources into the Light Blues, which could lead to significant investment in the upcoming transfer window. With their arrival at Ibrox on the horizon, Wolfsburg’s reported valuation of Cerny could present an excellent opportunity after his standout performances this season.
Wolfsburg’s Price Tag for Cerny Represents a Steal for Rangers
Former Scotland international Ross McCormack believes the first priority for the club’s prospective new owners should be securing Cerny on a permanent deal.
McCormack has urged the American investors to retain the 27-year-old forward once their takeover is complete, emphasizing that Wolfsburg’s reported asking price represents great value in today’s market.
Speaking on Open Goal (11 March), the 38-year-old said: “The first thing I would do as the new owner is try to keep [Cerny]. I think it’s a bargain—£6.75m. In this day and age, yes, that’s a steal.”
49ers Face an Easy Decision Over Cerny Transfer
Cerny has been one of Rangers’ standout performers this season, making it an obvious choice for Cavenagh and the 49ers to secure his services beyond the summer.
The Czech winger further proved his worth by scoring in the Gers’ 3-1 Europa League victory over Fenerbahce at the Ulker Stadium on 6 March. Barry Ferguson will be hoping for a repeat performance in the second leg on Thursday (13 March) as Rangers edge closer to the quarter-finals.
With domestic inconsistency hampering their campaign, the Europa League remains the club’s best chance for success this season. Progressing further in Europe could generate vital funds, which might strengthen their transfer budget in the summer.
While the Light Blues may currently lack the financial flexibility to sign the 27-year-old outright, the potential takeover should provide a much-needed cash injection.
If Cavenagh and Marathe are serious about restoring Rangers to the summit of Scottish football, securing key players like Cerny must be a top priority.
