Rangers and Transfer Developments: Key Players in the Mix
Recent developments at Rangers suggest that the club is actively pursuing changes to its squad as the transfer window progresses. Notably, Wolfsburg winger Vaclav Cerny is reportedly nearing a loan agreement with Rangers, according to information shared by Florian Plettenberg.
Further complicating the transfer landscape, Rangers and Turkish club Trabzonspor are in advanced discussions regarding the potential transfer of team captain James Tavernier. The 32-year-old right-back has reportedly agreed on personal terms, bringing the two clubs closer to a final agreement (TeamTalk).
In a related story, Connor Goldson, currently a centre-back for Rangers, has seen his negotiations with Aris Limassol suspended as he returned to the squad for a friendly against Birmingham City. Reports indicate that Rangers are holding out for a fee exceeding the £1 million offered by Trabzonspor for Tavernier (Scottish Sun).
Interestingly, footage has surfaced of Connor Goldson reportedly boarding a flight with his teammates to Birmingham, raising eyebrows given that he was rumored to have been in Cyprus for a medical with Aris Limassol just a day earlier (Daily Record).
While Aris Limassol confirmed they are close to acquiring an English centre-back, club officials remain tight-lipped about the player’s identity, citing complexities in the deal that involve various elements (Football Scotland).
In transfer news from elsewhere, Trabzonspor is also targeting Burnley striker Wout Weghorst, amidst suggestions of interest from Rangers for the 31-year-old forward (Daily Record).
Moreover, Heart of Midlothian’s Lawrence Shankland, a 28-year-old Scotland international, remains under their stewardship, with no clubs having approached them despite reports of possible interest from Rangers (Hearts Standard).
Lastly, Rangers winger Scott Wright seems to be heading toward a move to the Championship, with clubs like Sheffield Wednesday, Preston North End, and Derby County expressing interest in the 26-year-old, although they are exploring several options (Darren Witcoop on X).
