Derek McInnes’ summer rebuild at Rangers is showing no signs of slowing down, with the Ibrox club prepared to sanction the sale of several high-value players to finance another wave of arrivals before the transfer window closes.
Having already strengthened key areas of the squad, Rangers are now expected to balance the books through player sales as McInnes continues shaping his team for the new season.
Three First-Team Stars Could Be Sold
Several senior players continue to attract interest from clubs across Europe, and Rangers could cash in if the right offers arrive.
Nicolas Raskin
Belgian midfielder Nicolas Raskin remains Rangers’ most valuable asset.
After impressing for both club and country, the 25-year-old has been linked with a number of European sides, including Real Betis, Atalanta and Bologna. Rangers are understood to value him at around £20–25 million, and a sale would provide a significant boost to the club’s transfer budget.
Youssef Chermiti
Striker Youssef Chermiti has also attracted attention following an encouraging campaign.
French side Lyon are among the clubs credited with monitoring the forward, although Rangers are not actively looking to sell unless they receive an offer that matches their valuation.
Thelo Aasgaard
Norwegian midfielder Thelo Aasgaard is another player generating interest.
The versatile playmaker has enhanced his reputation with strong international performances, and Rangers would consider offers if they reflect his growing market value.
McInnes Still Wants More Signings
Despite already adding several new faces, Rangers are expected to remain active throughout the remainder of the window.
The club have already strengthened with the arrivals of:
Lawrence Shankland
Ross McCrorie
Ben Godfrey
Dan Neil
Ivor Pandur
McInnes is still believed to be targeting further additions across several positions.
Vanja Dragojević
The highly-rated Partizan Belgrade midfielder remains one of Rangers’ leading targets, with negotiations continuing after an opening bid was rejected.
Lewis Ferguson
The Bologna captain continues to be linked with a sensational return to Scotland, although any move would require Rangers to break their transfer record.
Jens Hjerto-Dahl
The Tromsø midfielder is another player understood to be on Rangers’ shortlist as McInnes looks to add energy and creativity in midfield.
The club are also believed to be monitoring options at centre-back, right-back, on the wing and in attack.
More Departures Expected
Alongside potential big-money sales, Rangers are continuing efforts to reduce the size of the squad.
Players including Danilo, Jose Cifuentes, Nedim Bajrami, Clinton Nsiala and Ross McCausland have all been linked with moves away as McInnes looks to create room for further arrivals.
The Bottom Line
Rangers’ rebuild is entering a crucial phase.
If Nicolas Raskin, Youssef Chermiti or Thelo Aasgaard leave for substantial fees, McInnes could receive the financial backing needed to complete another wave of signings before the transfer window closes, as the Ibrox club continue their push to return to the top of Scottish football.
