“SHOCKING REVELATION: Sky Sports Pundit Drops BOMBSHELL – Rangers FORCED to DUMP Star Player Over INSANE Wage Demands!”

The Belgium international was one of the few bright spots in what turned out to be a disappointing season for Rangers at Ibrox.

The club made the decision to part ways with Philippe Clement, only for his successor, Barry Ferguson, to struggle in taking the team to the next level.

Chris Boyd has raised concerns regarding the handling of the club’s first-team player exits, particularly highlighting how important figures like Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos left on free transfers.

Boyd believes that the situation surrounding Nicolas Raskin’s future could also become problematic due to his wages.

Although Raskin’s contract runs until 2027, Boyd argues that Rangers will be eager to secure his long-term future with the club, especially given his immense talent.

Boyd said that while it may seem like Raskin’s contract has a long way to go, in football terms, the end of his deal is closer than it appears.

He highlighted that the club, having lost key players on free transfers in the past, would likely want to avoid a similar situation with Raskin.

Boyd continued, noting that Rangers may face a dilemma if Raskin’s wages fall into a range that the club can’t afford.

In that case, the club might have to consider selling him either in the summer or January to avoid the risk of losing him for nothing.

Despite this, Boyd emphasized Raskin’s outstanding form this season, pointing out that the Belgian midfielder has elevated his game and earned his first senior international cap for Belgium.

As a Sky Sports pundit, Boyd commented, “There have been times when you felt Rangers should’ve moved players.

Ryan Kent or Alfredo Morelos, these guys should’ve moved on when they were flying. Rangers decided to keep them, and they left on a free contract.”

Raskin has been exceptional under both Clement and Ferguson, consistently delivering performances at an 8/10 level regardless of the team’s overall form.

This level of consistency has caught the attention of clubs from the Premier League, who see his potential to perform at the highest level.

With new ownership and a new manager set to take over at Rangers, there will be significant changes at the club.

The last thing the new owners and manager would want is for their most crucial player to be sold.

There are already doubts about the future of Vaclav Cerny, whose loan spell has ended, and he’s returned to VFL Wolfsburg.

To secure Raskin’s future, Rangers could look to negotiate a “gentleman’s agreement” with him, offering a contract extension and a pay rise to drive up his market value.

This could potentially set the stage for a transfer next summer, should the need arise.

Ultimately, Boyd believes that keeping Raskin at Ibrox for at least another season is crucial for the club’s future stability and success.
