Rangers FC have tabled an opening bid of roughly £4 million, or about €4.5 million, for Partizan Belgrade’s young captain Vanja Dragojevic. Partizan, unsurprisingly, wants more.

The Serbian club is reportedly holding out for approximately €5.5 million plus performance-related bonuses for the 20-year-old defensive midfielder. That gap between offer and asking price, roughly €1 million before add-ons, is the kind of distance that either kills a deal or gets bridged in the final hours of negotiation.

A rising talent with a long contract

Dragojevic, born January 11, 2006, in Belgrade, has emerged as one of the more promising young midfielders in Serbian football. He came through Partizan’s youth academy and made his senior debut during the 2024/25 season.

Since then, he has accumulated around 44 senior appearances for the club. That’s a notable workload for a player who only turned 20 earlier this year.
