Thelo Aasgaard may not be destined to remain a Rangers player for much longer.

Having joined from Luton Town last summer, the 24-year-old has proven to be a divisive figure amongst the Ibrox faithful.

The versatile attacking midfielder did score eight goals and provide six assists from 48 total appearances last season.

Despite that, many fans feel as though the Norwegian isn't consistent enough, and is perhaps somewhat of a luxury player.

Currently out of favour with Derek McInnes, he could be set to leave Govan before Thursday's 5pm transfer deadline.

Have Bodo/Glimt made an offer to Rangers for Thelo Aasgaard?

Aasgaard has played his entire senior career to date on these shores, having only previously played for Wigan and Luton before joining Rangers.

So, the opportunity to move to Norway - the country he represents internationally - this summer could be one that very much appeals to the midfielder.

AN (Avisa Nordland), a regional news outlet for Bodo and Nordland County, claim that Aasgaard has caught the attention of Bodo/Glimt.

However, it's reported that no official offer has been tabled at this stage by the Norwegian giants.

But aside from being able to ply his trade in the nation he represents, why might Bodo/Glimt prove too difficult for Aasgaard to turn down?

When does Norway's summer transfer window close?

Between 2020 to 2024, Bodo/Glimt won four of the five Norwegian Eliteserien league titles on offer.

As such, they've emerged as a real powerhouse in Norwegian football of late, and are currently top after 18 games played in 2026.

So, Aasgaard would have a very strong chance of winning consistent silverware if he signs for Bodo/Glimt.

A key thing to note is that the Eliteserien's transfer window closes on Wednesday 2 September.

Because of this, the Norwegians have less time to orchestrate a transfer agreement than Rangers do.
