Rangers’ midfielder Nicolas Raskin hoping to use 2026 World Cup as a springboard for a summer transfer

As reported by HLN, Rangers’ midfielder Nicolas Raskin and his entourage are hoping that his performances at the 2026 World Cup will prove to be a springboard to a summer transfer. Raskin came on against Egypt, replacing Amadou Onana, and played a key role in Belgium’s equaliser. He now has hopes of starting the Red Devils next game against Iran on Sunday.

Raskin has been with Rangers since 2023, having joined from Standard Liege midway through the 2022/2023 season. After coming through at Gent, Raskin joined Standard Liege in 2019. He went on to play 95 games for the club, scoring five goals. At Rangers, Raskin has been a key player, forcing his way into the national team set up thanks to 13 goals in 145 games and a number of strong performances.

Raskin has a contract with Rangers until 2028, but its becoming clear that he wants to leave the Glasgow based side this summer. Clubs across Europe are said to be interested in signing him from Rangers over the next few months, with Atalanta one of the few that has been actually named.
