“Rangers DESPERATE to Lock Down Ibrox Superstar with JAW-DROPPING Contract Offer – You’ll NEVER Guess the Insane Details!”
Rangers Determined to Keep Standout Midfielder Nico Raskin at Ibrox
Nicolas Raskin, 24, has emerged as a standout performer for Rangers in recent months, following a period of relative anonymity in earlier seasons.
His impressive form at Ibrox has not gone unnoticed, earning him a debut for Belgium in March during a Nations League match against Ukraine, where he delivered a solid performance.
Meanwhile, Celtic have secured their fourth straight Scottish Premiership title.
If Rangers are serious about challenging their Old Firm rivals, retaining key players like Raskin will be essential.
Despite reported interest from English clubs such as Leeds United and Aston Villa, TEAMtalk (7 May) states that Rangers have no intention of selling Raskin in the upcoming transfer window.
Instead, the club is preparing a lucrative new contract in a bid to convince the midfielder to commit his future to Ibrox.
The Glasgow side is fully aware of Raskin’s rising profile and the interest he’s attracting but remains hopeful of persuading him to reject any outside offers.
Holding onto Raskin could be pivotal if Rangers are to close the gap with Celtic next season.
Raskin’s recent displays have naturally drawn external attention. Even in a season where Rangers have underperformed as a team, he has remained one of the few bright spots.
With the potential arrival of Andrew Cavenagh and the 49ers Enterprises at the helm in the coming weeks, it remains to be seen how this change in leadership might influence future transfer and recruitment plans.
There’s concern among supporters that Rangers could become a feeder club for teams like Leeds United, who are owned by 49ers Enterprises.
This could put Paraag Marathe’s commitment to strengthening Rangers to the test, especially if Leeds submit a formal bid for Raskin.
Should Leeds pursue the Belgian, it may signal that the 49ers are willing to compromise Rangers’ ambitions for the sake of their other football interests.
The actions of the U.S.-based consortium in the next transfer window will be a telling indicator of their vision for Rangers.
To compete with Celtic and regain dominance in Scottish football, Rangers must resist the urge to sell their top talents.
Keeping Raskin is a step in the right direction, but more importantly, the club must invest in additional quality signings to build a team capable of ending Celtic’s stronghold on domestic trophies.
