Finance Expert: Rangers have the financial capacity to complete £6.75m Ibrox transfer.
Rangers must soon decide whether to sign Vaclav Cerny permanently or move on, says Dan Plumley.
On loan from Wolfsburg, Vaclav Cerny has been a key player for Rangers at Ibrox, with a reported valuation of £6.75 million for a potential permanent transfer in the summer (Scottish Sun).
The Czech international has played a crucial role under Philippe Clement, much like Abdallah Sima last season. However, Sima ultimately joined Brest after Rangers failed to reach a permanent agreement with Brighton.
Rangers’ Chances of Signing Vaclav Cerny
Football finance expert Plumley believes Rangers could afford the £6.75 million fee, but the final decision will depend on how the season unfolds.
“I think they can afford it,” he told Ibrox News exclusively.
“They can stretch to that sort of figure. From an external perspective, it seems feasible that they could reach that amount.
“But do they want to? Do they see it as a realistic investment?
“Their current league position will play a role in that decision. We know the financial gulf between the Champions League and Europa League, and where they stand in the title race will matter.
“It may come down to what happens over the next few months and when the option to buy becomes active. Rangers have the financial capacity, but whether they will commit to it depends on how the season finishes.”
Cerny’s Impact at Rangers
The dynamic winger has been a key contributor in both the Scottish Premiership and Europa League, delivering crucial goals and assists.
With West Ham previously considered favourites to sign him permanently (Fichajes), Rangers could face competition if they hesitate.
Cerny has already registered 14 goals and five assists across all competitions this season and will be eager to add to those numbers before a final decision on his future is made.
His potential permanent move is set to be one of the biggest talking points at Ibrox this summer.
