Rangers want Václav Černý back. The Czech winger lit up Ibrox during a loan spell in 2024/25, and now the Scottish club is trying to make the reunion permanent. There’s just one problem: Beşiktaş isn’t in a generous mood.
Rangers submitted an opening bid estimated at around £5 to £5.1 million for the 28-year-old, and Beşiktaş rejected it. The Turkish club paid between €5 and €6 million to sign Černý on a permanent deal in September 2025, and they’re not about to let him walk for what amounts to a lateral move on the balance sheet.
The loan that started it all
Černý arrived at Rangers on loan in July 2024, and the impact was immediate. He scored 12 league goals across 33 appearances. The Czech international featured at Euro 2024 representing his country on the biggest stage in European football.
