Why Nicolas Raskin could surprise everyone at Rangers by rejecting latest Ibrox exit destination

Nicolas Raskin has a monumental decision to make over his future at Rangers this summer.

The Belgium international is in demand right now, with his exit from the Gers feeling inevitable in the transfer window.

As things stand, the 25-year-old is set to return to the Light Blues after starring for Rudi Garcia's team at the 2026 World Cup.

Raskin's displays in North America must have surely attracted interest from some top teams, and the Ibrox hierarchy could be set for a bidding war.

The former Standard Liege star joined the Glaswegian outfit for around £1.5million in January 2023 and they're expected to make a hefty profit from his sale.

Derek McInnes has already made multiple additions in the engine room, possibly making way for the Belgian star's exit, but he may surprise many by rejecting some big offers.

Who is interested in Rangers midfielder Nicolas Raskin?

Ibrox News covered reports of Hull City's interest in Raskin, but the Tigers were unable to match the Gers' £20million price tag.

In Spain, the likes of Real Betis and Villarreal have also held talks with the Light Blues over a move for the midfielder, described as a "revelation" for Belgium at the World Cup.

According to Voetbalkrant on 15 July, Manchester United also have Raskin on their shortlist.

However, the Belgian ace could potentially reject an offer from the 20-time Premier League champions for guaranteed minutes elsewhere.

While the Red Devils are one of the biggest institutions in football, they've already signed Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans to reinforce their midfield.

If Raskin were to move to Old Trafford, he would undoubtedly find regular game time hard to come by.

How Derek McInnes' midfield is shaping up at Ibrox

Ibrox News has previously covered Bologna's interest in Connor Barron.

Mohamed Diomande's future could also be one to keep an eye on, with two years remaining on his contract at Rangers.

McInnes has signed Dan Neil and Cammy Devlin for his engine room so far, with a deal for Partizan midfielder Vanja Dragojevic also close at Ibrox.

Tochi Chukwuani impressed in the second half of last season after arriving in the winter transfer window.

The Glaswegian outfit are ensuring they have enough options in the middle of the park for next season, with a rebuild on the cards in Govan.
