49ers may sign £8m star in permanent Rangers transfer; he wants Ibrox move

Rangers and potential new owners the 49ers Enterprises could make an £8m signing at Ibrox, with the player keen on a move to Glasgow.

In what has been an underwhelming season on the whole, Rangers have enjoyed a positive month under interim boss Barry Ferguson.

The Gers managed to book their place in the Europa League quarter-finals by beating Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce on penalties, and days later, took down Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic.

A late strike from Hamza Igamane sealed Rangers’ first win at Celtic since 2020, a result that could boost Ferguson’s chances of landing the job permanently.

The 49ers Enterprises have agreed a deal in principle to take over in Scotland and are confident it will be completed ahead of the new campaign.

They will have a lot of work to do, such as securing Philippe Clement’s long-term successor and potentially signing and selling numerous players, and an exciting update has been made regarding the 49ers’ move to Scotland.

TEAMtalk shared news on the 49ers’ plans at Rangers, saying ‘the 49ers Enterprises will back Rangers with a strong transfer budget that will help them compete on the pitch’.

It is added that an amount of £25m per season is seen as methodical and the 49ers could make Vaclav Cerny’s Rangers loan move from VfL Wolfsburg permanent.

The 27-year-old, who could miss some action in the Scottish Premiership after squirting Celtic fans with water following Igamane’s winner at Parkhead, has been a star for Rangers during the current campaign.

He’s expected to cost around £8m if Rangers want to do a deal, and Cerny himself has recently hinted he’s open to a permanent Ibrox move.

TEAMtalk also add that no decision will be made on a new manager until the end of the season, however, Ferguson and his coaching staff are in the frame currently.
