Rangers have made a firm approach for highly-rated midfielder Jens Hjertø-Dahl, but securing his signature is proving far from straightforward as Celtic position themselves strongly in the race.
The 20-year-old talent, currently impressing at Tromsø, has seen his stock rise rapidly in recent months. Rangers initially moved for him during the January window, but a deal failed to materialise despite serious interest. Now, as the summer window approaches, the Ibrox side have renewed their push and “won’t let go” of their pursuit. �

However, the situation has intensified with Celtic now entering the picture, turning the transfer into a full-blown Glasgow battle. Both clubs are keen to strengthen in midfield, and Hjertø-Dahl’s versatility, goal threat, and growing experience at youth international level make him an attractive target. �

The competition doesn’t stop there. Turkish giants Beşiktaş remain interested after coming close to signing the midfielder earlier this year, while Serie A side Bologna are monitoring him as a potential replacement for departing players. Interest from clubs in the Premier League and Bundesliga further complicates matters, raising the likelihood of a bidding war. �

Valued between €8m and €10m, Hjertø-Dahl’s rising reputation has been fuelled by standout performances, including a recent hat-trick that underlined his attacking quality from midfield. �

For Rangers, persistence could yet pay off—but with Celtic now firmly involved and multiple European suitors circling, this transfer saga is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing Old Firm battles of the summer.
