Vaclav Cerny to bank £2.9m after sensational Rangers transfer
Vaclav Cerny is in demand this summer transfer window after an impressive season with Rangers at Ibrox.
The Wolfsburg winger arrived in the Scottish Premiership on loan last summer and caught a lot of people’s attention with his performances for the Gers.
Barry Ferguson wanted Cerny to stay at the Light Blues, but the Czech international ended up returning to the Bundesliga outfit.
The 27-year-old could be on the move once again from the German club, with a lucrative offer on the cards this summer.
Rangers out of Cerny transfer race as £2.9m salary to be offered elsewhere
Cerny is attracting a lot of interest in the summer transfer window after his sensational form with the Gers, according to Record.
The news outlet reports (10 June) that the Czech forward has multiple bids from around Europe and could earn a salary package of £2.9million a year.

It’s been claimed that the 27-year-old could be out of the Light Blues’ price range despite Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises completing their lucrative takeover.
Wolfsburg want £9m for the winger after heroics at Ibrox, with Turkish outfit Trabzonspor leading the race for his signature.
Cavenagh and 49ers missed boat on Cerny transfer at Ibrox
Cavenagh and the 49ers have pledged £20m at the Gers this summer, but it wouldn’t make sense for them to spend half of it on one player.
Cerny may have cost less at Ibrox if the Light Blues had opted to trigger the buy option that was included in his loan deal with Wolfsburg.
The ship seems to have sailed for the Americans to sign the 27-year-old at the Glaswegian outfit despite his status as a fan favourite.
Rangers now need to replace the Czechia international’s influence, and it’ll undoubtedly be hard to sign someone with similar qualities for cheap.
Ianis Hagi has also been allowed to leave the Gers despite showcasing his qualities after returning to first-team action.
Russell Martin should demand quality transfers from Kevin Thelwell this summer as he looks to compete with Celtic and hopefully knock them off their perch.
It won’t be easy to beat Brendan Rodgers’ team to the Scottish Premiership title next season, but supporters will expect that from the ex-Southampton boss regardless of the challenges he faces.
