Rangers are keeping tabs on Radek Vítek, a 22-year-old goalkeeper currently tied to Manchester United, as the Scottish Premiership club looks to strengthen between the sticks ahead of next season. The interest has surfaced in the transfer market conversation, placing Vítek on Rangers’ shortlist as the club maps out defensive reinforcements.
No formal bid has been lodged, no timeline confirmed, and both clubs are yet to open any meaningful dialogue.
Who is Radek Vítek?
Born on October 24, 2003, Vítek is a Czech shot-stopper who joined Manchester United in 2020 after transferring from Sigma Olomouc. Stints at Accrington Stanley and Austrian side Blau-Weiß Linz gave him senior football at progressively competitive levels. He is now at Bristol City on a season-long loan that runs until summer 2026.
In July 2025, Manchester United extended Vítek’s contract through to 2028. The Bristol City loan does include a January recall option for Manchester United, which means the parent club retains the ability to bring Vítek back mid-season if circumstances demand it.
