Rangers on Red Alert for Cerny Amid Wolfsburg “Fire Sale”; Dessers Opposes Exit Rumours
Rangers FC have been put on red alert as VfL Wolfsburg reportedly prepare for a “fire sale” of several key players this summer, including Czech winger Václav Černý. The 26-year-old, who impressed in the Bundesliga last season with his pace and creativity, has emerged as a potential target for the Ibrox club as manager Philippe Clement looks to reshape his squad for the 2025/26 campaign.
Černý joined Wolfsburg in 2023 from FC Twente and showed flashes of his potential, contributing with important goals and assists. However, with Wolfsburg rumoured to be trimming their wage bill following a disappointing league finish, multiple players could be made available at cut-price deals — a situation that has not gone unnoticed by Rangers’ recruitment staff.
A wide forward with international experience for the Czech Republic, Černý fits the profile Clement is believed to be seeking — versatile, technically gifted, and available at a reasonable price. Sources close to the club suggest preliminary enquiries have already been made, though no formal bid has yet been submitted.
Meanwhile, striker Cyriel Dessers has moved to quell speculation about his own future amid reports linking him with a move away from Ibrox. The Nigerian international, who had a mixed first season in Glasgow, addressed the rumours directly, stating he has no intention of leaving the club.
“I’ve seen all the talk, but I’m fully committed to Rangers,” Dessers told reporters while on international duty. “I know there’s always speculation at this time of year, but I feel settled here, and I want to be part of what we’re building under the manager.”
Dessers’ statement may serve as a clear signal to potential suitors and to the club hierarchy that he intends to fight for his place, even as Rangers look to bolster their attacking options. His comments come as the club prepares for what could be a significant summer of change, both in terms of incomings and outgoings.
With several key positions needing reinforcement — particularly in wide areas and central defence — Černý’s availability could offer Rangers an opportunistic deal, especially if Wolfsburg are keen to move players quickly. The coming weeks are expected to bring clarity, but for now, Rangers appear to be quietly positioning themselves for a potentially busy transfer window.
