Scottish giants Rangers have made a significant move in the transfer market by securing a loan deal for Wolfsburg winger Vaclav Cerny for the upcoming season. The Czech Republic international, who featured at Euro 2024, made a switch to the Bundesliga last summer for a reported fee of around £7m and managed to score five goals across all competitions during his time with the German club.
At 26 years old, Cerny becomes Rangers’ eighth signing in this window, joining the likes of Hamza Igamane, Jefte, Clinton Nsiala, Liam Kelly, Connor Barron, and Oscar Cortes, who returned on loan with an obligation to buy in the summer. Additionally, Mohamed Diomande has made his loan move permanent, bolstering Rangers’ squad for the upcoming season.
Expressing his delight at joining Rangers, Cerny stated, “It is a very nice day for me. I am happy to be here and I can’t wait to get started.” The winger emphasized the positive feelings he had following talks with the manager and expressed his eagerness to contribute to the team.
Manager Philippe Clement also shared his excitement about Cerny’s arrival, highlighting the winger’s attacking qualities and valuable experience in European football. He expressed confidence in the club’s ability to help Cerny reach new heights as a player and looks forward to seeing his contributions on the field.
Cerny’s football journey began in his hometown club FC Pribram before moving to the Netherlands to join Ajax in 2014. He later had stints at Utrecht and FC Twente before making his move to VfL Wolfsburg last season. Rangers’ director of football recruitment, Nils Koppen, welcomed Cerny to the club, emphasizing the winger’s proven track record in top European leagues.
