Rangers transfer round-up: Nico Raskin update as star set for Ibrox exit
Rangers have been heavily active so far this summer transfer window.
Russell Martin has signed 10 new players so far, with more expected to arrive in the coming weeks.
Numerous players continue to be linked with the Glaswegians as the Scotsman looks to continue to improve his squad.
However, departures as also possible as Martin recoups potential funds to spend elsewhere.
Therefore, Ibrox News has rounded up all of the major rumours from the past 48 hours below.
Rangers enter the race for Karl Hein
One position that Rangers are yet to reinforce this summer in goal.
The Gers have kept Jack Butland as their number one, who has impressed in their Champions League outings.
However, this could now be about to change, with Rangers entering the race for Karl Hein.
The Arsenal goalkeeper spent last season on loan to Real Valladolid but struggled in Spain as the club were relegated from La Liga.
Nico Raskin may look to leave Rangers
Nico Raskin’s future at Rangers has recently become more complicated.
Raskin was dropped against Viktoria Plzen after Martin had ranted about some players’ attitudes.
Therefore, speculation about the midfielder’s future has increased, with interest already high.
- Martin was furious with Rangers’ 1-1 draw with Motherwell
- Four players were dropped from the line-up in the aftermath of the result
- Raskin could now look to leave Rangers as his relationship with Martin sours
There were talks about him signing a new deal. However, given the recent developments, Keith Jackson believes that Raskin may look to move on.
He said: “If there’s a problem between Raskin and Martin, then it might be a little bit trickier than originally anticipated to stick a contract in front of him to extend, even if you’re prepared to give him a significant pay bump.
“Because if he doesn’t feel happy or wanted or trusted as part of Martin’s key group of leaders, he may well feel now might be the best time to look at something else.”
Ridvan Yilmaz set for Ibrox exit
Ridvan Yilmaz looks all but certain to leave Rangers this summer.
The Turkey international moved to Ibrox in 2022, but his time in Scotland has been marred by inconsistent form and injury issues.
The transfer is expected to be completed soon, ending the full-back’s stay in Scotland.
