Rangers midfielder Nicolas Raskin has told the club he will leave this summer, signalling a desire for a new challenge. The 25‑year‑old Belgian has attracted interest from Serie A side Atalanta, who are reportedly monitoring his situation closely. Raskin’s exit would leave a creative void in the Ibrox midfield as the team gears up for the title run‑in. His contract expires in June.

Rangers’ board sees an opportunity to cash in, with valuation rumours hovering around £25m. Should a bid materialise, the funds could be redirected toward reinforcing the back line, an area that has shown frailty in recent fixtures. Meanwhile, fellow Belgian prospect Youssef Chermiti remains on PSV’s radar, underscoring the Dutch club’s continued scouting of Scottish talent. PSV hopes to strike a deal soon.

The midfielder’s departure would force manager Philippe Clement to reshuffle his squad ahead of the Champions League qualifiers. Raskin’s blend of passing range and work rate has been central to Rangers’ recent domestic success, and replacing him will not be straightforward. As the transfer window closes, Ibrox fans can expect a flurry of activity to fill the gap. The club’s scouting network will be tested.
