Rangers might pay under £2 million this summer to acquire the next Connor Goldson.

Leopold Querfeld has been observed by Rangers this season, and the Scottish Premiership powerhouses may be able to sign the Rapid Vienna defender for an incredible £2 million.

When he states that Rapid Vienna won’t precisely be negotiating the defender’s future from a position of power,

reporter Peter Linden is not entirely incorrect.

Leopold Querfeld’s contract with the Austrian company expires in a little over a year.

Rangers or any of the young player’s other admirers may score a deal on a top performance at a squad that is currently sixth in the Austrian Bundesliga,

thanks to a 2.5 million euro release clause that is expected to activate in the summer.

Rangers observe Leopold Querfeld, a defender for Rapid Vienna.

According to Linden’s blog, “Querfeld (has been) the most stable and the best – at least defensively – Rapid player this season.”

“Querfeld can opt out of the contract after this season if a foreign team pays a 2.5 million euro transfer fee to acquire him.”

The final day of the 2023 summer transfer window saw Udinese ready to pay that much for him.

“(Director Markus) Katzer requested five million (euros) at that point. Rapid now has to (sell him for a) lower (amount).

Not ideal circumstances for Katzer and Rapid to be in.

Rangers have viewed Querfelt and his Rapid teammate Matthias Seidl, as far as HITC Football is aware.

The latter is an exceptionally technical and cerebral offensive midfielder, with a remarkable goal return from his center place in Seidl.

You could argue that Querfeld would be a little more useful at Ibrox, though,

given that Tom Lawrence, Todd Cantwell, and Kemar Roofe are all capable of performing a similar role.

A replacement for Connor Goldson?

The 6′ 3″ center-half, who has 11 caps for Austria’s Under-21 team,

would be a good replacement for Connor Goldson, who is getting older and more prone to mistakes.

Goldson, whose play of late has been somewhat inconsistent,

scored an own goal in last week’s 2-2 Europa League first-leg tie in Lisbon against Benfica.

HITC has also been informed that Crystal Palace, led by Oliver Glasner, is in the running for Querfeld,

along with Fulham, Burnley, Wolves, and Leicester City.

The same goes for Rangers’ Old Firm rivals.

FC Twente left-back Gijs Smal is also a fan of both Celtic and Rangers.

It seems doubtful that the gifted Dutchman would fight across Glasgow,

since Smal is reportedly headed to Feyenoord.
