Rangers Table An Offer For This 20-Year-Old Serbian Midfield Ace: Why He Could Be Another Exciting Addition At Ibrox If a recent report from the Serbian outlet Mozzart Sport (as cited by The Daily Record ) is believed to be true, Rangers are plotting a move for Vanja Dragojević. They have tabled an offer of around €4.5m for the Partizan Belgrade midfield ace, but his current employers, destined to lose him this summer, are holding out for a €5.5m fee along with a sell-on clause. The 20-year-old Serbia international took his first steps in football at Altina Zemun before joining the esteemed ranks of Partizan. There, he impressed at various youth levels and was eventually loaned out to third-tier outfit Teleoptik for first-team experience. Rise In Belgrade However, Dragojević was recalled after a brief stint, as he was starting to be involved with the seniors sporadically. The 2025-26 season proved to be the turning point of his career, particularly after goalkeeper Aleksandar Jovanovic’s departure. Israeli veteran Bibars Natcho was elected as the club skipper. But the Serb, their vice-captain and a starter, led the Steamrollers more often than the now-retired midfielder.

He cemented his place as a deep-lying playmaker, and Rangers , despite securing the services of Dan Neil already, are keen to have the youngster in their ranks as part of a squad reconstruction under new boss Derek McInnes. They are also attempting an ambitious swoop for Lewis Ferguson, but it won’t impact any potential deal for the Serbian sensation. Why Rangers Should Bring Him In The Light Blues underwent a midfield transition under both Russell Martin and Danny Rohl. Joe Rothwell and Lyall Cameron joined them last year, but neither of them managed to cement a starting spot in the middle of the park. Rothwell was permanently offloaded in winter, with Cameron being loaned out to Aberdeen for regular gametime. Rohl snapped up Tochi Chukwuani from Sturm Graz to restore depth and quality. Yet the growing uncertainty about the future of in-demand Nicolas Raskin highlights the necessity of summer reinforcements. Neil, roped in on a Bosman from Sunderland, is a sensational signing. Moreover, Mohamed Diomande and Connor Barron’s availability allowed the club to sanction Bailey Rice’s loan exit to Kilmarnock. Nevertheless, McInnes demands a robust, dynamic and physically imposing midfield. Dragojević, known for his physical dominance and aggressive tackling, coupled with strong technical abilities as a ‘number six’, would slot in the Scotsman’s trademark 4-4-2 set-up. The competition for minutes should help him develop his game in one of Europe’s most aggressive leagues, and it remains to be seen whether Rangers meet Partizan’s demands for their prized asset.
