European club 'open talks' over £9m move for Rangers favourite Vaclav Cerny

Trabzonspor have opened talks with Wolfsburg about a £9 million move for Rangers loan hero Vaclav Cerny.

The Czech Republic international winger was a major success for Rangers during the season after netting 12 goals in 30 league starts for the Ibrox club and 18 goals in all competitions.

Wolfsburg have made it clear they need to make significant financial savings for the new season and don't see Cerny as part of their long-term plans.

Trabzonspor manager Fatih Tekke has identified Cerny as his No.1 target for the new season after a disappointing campaign where they currently sit in seventh place and they were also hammered in the Turkish Cup Final by Galatasaray.

Cerny made a big impression when he netted a double as Rangers stunned Fenerbahce in the Europa League in a 3-1 win in Istanbul in March.

And Trabzonspor, who have two former Rangers stars in John Lundstram and Borna Barisic on their books, are desperate to land the 27-year-old.
