San Francisco 49ers given ‘green signal’ to seal Cerny transfer at Rangers

The Czech Republic international has been one of the better players this season for Gers, being a mainstay on the right wing.

Most Gers fans would want the club to sign the 27-year-old on a permanent basis this summer.

Before the news of the takeover emerged, this possibility seemed to be a remote one, given the finances involved.

It’s understood that the club will have to shell out around £8million to bring the winger back to Ibrox in the summer, per the Scottish Sun.

That seemed nigh on impossible, but with the San Francisco 49ers set to take over, things appear to be back on the table.

While he admits that certain things are out of his control, referring to the transfer fee and Wolfsburg’s stance, he did state that he “definitely” wanted a permanent transfer.

“I definitely do,” he responded when asked if he’d like to be a Rangers player next season. “But there are so many aspects that I can’t control. All I can do is be the best I can and keep up my form and numbers.

There’s no time for that, we play every three days. I don’t have an option, that’s the only official one. I don’t know what will happen.”

To sign Cerny permanently at Gers, the San Francisco 49ers can leverage their financial prowess and strategic expertise.

They should negotiate with Wolfsburg, where Cerny’s contract runs until 2027 and see if they can bring down his fee.

They can utilise Paraag Marathe’s player-trading acumen to structure a deal that appeals to both clubs, possibly including add-ons or a sell-on clause.

Offering Cerny a lucrative long-term contract, highlighting Rangers’ European prospects and his starring role, could seal his commitment. Finalizing the takeover swiftly ensures funds and authority are in place by summer 2025 to execute this priority signing.
