The timing couldn’t be much more dramatic.
With a new era about to begin at Ibrox, one Rangers star is reportedly eyeing the exit door before Derek McInnes has even had the chance to take charge.
Nicolas Raskin’s future has suddenly become one of the biggest talking points of the summer.
The Belgian midfielder still has two years remaining on his current contract, but reports suggest he is keen to secure a new challenge following Rangers’ disappointing campaign.
Raskin has been one of Rangers’ standout performers since arriving in Glasgow, establishing himself as a key figure in midfield. However, major changes behind the scenes have fuelled speculation that this summer could be the right time for both player and club to move on.
Interest is already building.
Italian side Atalanta are reportedly monitoring the 25-year-old closely as they prepare for a major midfield reshuffle. The Serie A club are expected to enter the market for reinforcements and view Raskin as a player capable of stepping into a prominent role.
The uncertainty surrounding the managerial position has only added to the speculation.
With Danny Rohl departing and Derek McInnes preparing to take over, Rangers are expected to undergo significant changes this summer. New arrivals are anticipated, but departures could be just as important as the club looks to reshape the squad.
A sale of Raskin would generate a substantial transfer fee and potentially provide McInnes with additional funds to strengthen other areas of the team.
For now, Rangers remain in control of the situation due to the midfielder’s contract length. But if interest from Europe continues to grow, the club could soon face a major decision.
The bottom line.
A key player’s future is uncertain. European interest is growing. And with a new manager arriving at Ibrox, Nicolas Raskin could become one of the biggest Rangers transfer stories of the summer.
