Vanja Dragojevic Close to Rangers Transfer

Deal Details and Timeline

Partizan’s captain Vanja Dragojevic is expected to arrive in Glasgow on Friday to complete the formalities of his move to Rangers. The Scottish club will pay around £4.6 million for the 20‑year‑old Serbian midfielder, with Partizan also accepting a £4.7 million offer plus performance‑related add‑ons. The transfer represents a notable investment for Rangers in their midfield reshuffle.

Rangers’ Midfield Priorities

While Rangers have been linked with Norwegian midfielder Jens Hjerto‑Dahl from Tromsø, the Ibrox board is focusing its efforts on securing Dragojevic. The club’s officials have been in Spain at pre‑season base despite earlier reports of a trip to Norway. Tromsø retains an £8.5 million valuation for Hjerto‑Dahl, keeping him out of immediate reach.

Background and Impact

Dragojevic, 20, captains Partizan and has emerged as a key figure in Serbia’s top division, attracting interest from several European sides. His signing gives Rangers a young, dynamic option in a midfield that has been a focal point of recent squad overhauls. The fee matches Rangers’ recent spending patterns for similar age‑group players, underscoring a long‑term rebuilding strategy.
