Rangers could see a significant financial windfall from Nico Raskin, with a potential departure looming following his performances this season.
The 24-year-old midfielder joined the Glasgow club from Standard Liege in 2023 for £2 million and took some time to adjust to his new surroundings.
However, Raskin has proven to be a vital asset for Rangers at Ibrox during the current campaign, particularly as they aim to finish strongly in the Europa League.
The Belgian star showcased his talent by scoring and providing an assist in Rangers’ thrilling 3-2 victory over Celtic at Parkhead on Sunday, March 16, a performance that is sure to boost his market value.
According to the Daily Record on March 20, Rangers might be open to a substantial transfer offer for Raskin in the upcoming transfer windows, potentially earning several times the initial £2 million they invested. His current form suggests that he could attract significant interest from major clubs at Rangers, with a big move possibly on the horizon next summer.
It seems increasingly likely that Raskin’s time at Ibrox could be drawing to a close, especially after his standout contributions this season earned him a call-up to the Belgium national team for the international break.
Rudi Garcia has included the 24-year-old in the Red Devils’ squad for their Nations League double-header against Ukraine, a testament to his growing influence.
While it’s unclear if Belgium will give him significant playing time, his recent performances for Rangers certainly justify his inclusion.
Raskin’s upward trajectory points toward a bright future, potentially beyond Rangers, which may be bittersweet for the Ibrox faithful. While losing the Belgian midfielder in the near future would be a blow, supporters of the Light Blues are accustomed to seeing their top talents move on from the Scottish Premiership.
As long as he remains with Rangers, the club should focus on maximizing his impact and building the squad around him, especially with veteran players like James Tavernier nearing the twilight of their careers.
IRaskin appears to be an ideal candidate to take over the captaincy at Rangers, but his long-term commitment to the Glasgow side remains uncertain.
Whether he stays long enough to lead the team or moves on to new challenges, his value to the club—both on the pitch and as a potential transfer asset—is undeniable.
