​Partizan captain Vanja Dragojevic is set to travel to Glasgow on Friday to finalize his transfer to Rangers, with the English club poised to pay around £4.6 million for the 20-year-old midfielder. Reports from the Daily Record suggest that Partizan have already accepted an offer in the region of £4.7 million, plus add-ons, from Rangers for Dragojevic. DIvoices in Serbian media, including TV Arena Sport, echoed that Partizan had accepted the fee and that the move was close to completion.
Meanwhile, Rangers appear to be nearing the signing of Dragojevic for about £4 million from Partizan, according to Luca Bendoni on X. In related transfer chatter, Rangers have shown willingness to increase their bid for Jens Hjerto-Dahl to around £6.7 million after Cardiff City’s £5.5 million offer for the 20-year-old midfielder was rejected by Tromso, with Besiktas also reportedly tracking the player. Ibrox officials have been linked with talks in Norway, although reports vary on the location of those discussions, with some outlets claiming talks are already at an advanced stage.
Rangers are prioritising a move for the Serbian midfielder Vanja Dragojevic and, while Jens Hjerto-Dahl remains on the radar, the club’s leadership has also kept focus at their pre-season base in Spain, even as rumours suggested visits to Norway for conversations. Sky Sports noted that Cardiff City’s pursuit of Hjerto-Dahl has stalled after Tromso’s valuation, while Rangers have yet to return with a renewed offer and are now pressing ahead with the Dragojevic deal. Another Serbian source, Pranev Shahaney on X, reported that neither Rangers nor Cardiff had met Tromso’s £8.5 million asking price for Hjerto-Dahl.
In other transfer chatter, Leicester City and Rangers have shown interest in 20-year-old striker Ryan One, but Sheffield United are reportedly reluctant to part with him this summer. Friday’s and Thursday’s roundups highlighted ongoing activity across England and Europe, including Tottenham Hotspur allegedly turning down a loan offer from Ipswich Town for Mikey Moore, an 18-year-old winger who spent last season on loan with Rangers.
Scots football news also touched on Lawrence Shankland, who confirmed there was a contractual clause at Heart of Midlothian allowing talks with other clubs if an offer materialized, and he indicated his desire to join Rangers. Nice are reported to be exploring a move for former Rangers youth striker Robbie Ure, who could leave Sirius for around £5.2 million amid interest from multiple European clubs. Media in the Middle East claimed Ange Postecoglou has reached a preliminary agreement to bring a foreign midfielder to Al-Nassr, amid speculation about Callum McGregor’s future with Celtic.
Additionally, Lens are said to be close to signing 25-year-old Celtic centre-back Maik Nawrocki, who is already in France undergoing a medical, according to Meczyki. In Scottish football, Greg Taylor acknowledged he would consider a return to Celtic if the opportunity arose, though the emphasis remained on current developments and potential moves ahead of the new season.
