Rangers Football Club have set their sights on highly-rated Croatian midfielder Leon Belcar, in what could be one of the most promising additions of the summer. The 23-year-old, currently on loan at Dinamo Zagreb from NK Varaždin, has emerged as a standout performer in the Croatian top flight — and now the Ibrox faithful could see him wear the famous blue shirt next season.
Belcar has made 28 appearances this campaign, drawing praise for his commanding presence in midfield, excellent reading of the game, and pinpoint distribution. With Dinamo yet to activate the €1.5 million buy clause in his loan deal, Rangers may be in pole position to pounce.

A New Era with Bold Intentions
This move would be part of a bold and ambitious rebuild under Rangers’ new ownership. The U.S.-based consortium led by Andrew Cavenagh and backed by 49ers Enterprises has injected fresh optimism into the club with a pledged £20 million transfer war chest. With Kevin Thelwell taking charge as sporting director and a new manager set to be appointed, a fresh identity is forming at Ibrox — one that fans can believe in.
Bringing in a young, technically gifted midfielder like Belcar aligns perfectly with the club’s revamped vision: exciting, progressive football with hungry players determined to bring glory back to Glasgow.
What He Brings to Rangers
A natural defensive midfielder with the brain of a deep-lying playmaker, Belcar has the tools to transform Rangers’ midfield. His average of 2.1 tackles and 1.8 interceptions per game, combined with a pass completion rate of 89%, makes him the kind of player fans love — committed, intelligent, and effective.
More importantly, he’s hungry. Belcar has spoken publicly about his desire to test himself in a more competitive league, and Rangers’ stature, history, and potential European adventure could be the perfect stage.
Building for European Nights
With Champions League qualifiers on the horizon, Rangers are focused on building a squad capable of thriving both at home and in Europe. Leon Belcar is not just a signing for today — he’s an investment in the club’s future success.
This potential deal signals Rangers’ clear intent to excite fans, play bold football, and challenge on all fronts. For supporters eager to see a new chapter unfold at Ibrox, the name Leon Belcar might soon become one to chant from the stands.
