Hands Off Raskin – Rangers Send Clear Message to Villa with Eye-Watering £30M Valuation! | OneFootball

Rangers fans are watching closely as the situation around Nico Raskin begins to heat up during this summer window. While nothing has been finalised yet there are growing noises from both Scotland and England about the future of the talented Belgian midfielder. His value is now believed to be creeping towards the £30 million mark with English Premier League interest mounting. Aston Villa are said to be monitoring the player very closely alongside Wolverhampton Wanderers while clubs on the continent are also believed to be keeping tabs. Amid all of this Rangers have reportedly tabled a new contract in the hope Raskin will commit to the club’s long‑term project.

The Ibrox side are understandably keen to keep hold of one of their most promising midfielders. Raskin has shown composure aggression and ability in the centre of the park and when fit he is a driving force in the Rangers engine room. It is no surprise then that Wolves and Villa are circling especially with the player now attracting serious valuations from market analysts and scouts alike. Rangers know it will take a strong package to keep him happy and are hoping the contract proposal will be enough.

There are also strong internal pushes to retain Raskin with teammates actively encouraging him to stay. He is seen as a major component of Rangers’ ambitions and a player who could define the side’s quality in the middle of the pitch. The club’s willingness to hand him an improved deal is a reflection of that. Whether it will be enough to fend off the Premier League is another matter. Clubs like Villa offer a more glamorous league and a massive increase in salary but Rangers offer guaranteed first team football and potential European exposure.

Supporters will also be intrigued by recent developments behind the scenes. Dujon Sterling may have given the game away when speaking publicly about Raskin’s situation hinting that talks were going well. According to TeamTalk sources the club are trying to pull out all the stops to keep their man. If Rangers are serious about catching Celtic and dominating again they need to keep players like Raskin and build around him rather than cash in too early.
