Rangers' demands block Belgian Raskin's move to Ittihad

Rangers have rejected an offer from the federation for Belgian midfielder Nicolas Raskin, increasing the uncertainty surrounding the possibility of completing the transfer during the current window.

Turkish journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu has revealed on his X account that Rangers have also rejected an improved offer from Beşiktaş for the 25-year-old player.

Negotiations between the involved parties have stalled after Rangers held firm on their financial and negotiation terms regarding the sale of Nicolas Raskin, which has led to the deal being halted and no final agreement reached so far.

Nicolas Raskin is a key player for Rangers, with the team relying on him in midfield. The player is under contract with the Scottish club until May 2028.

Belgian midfielder has caught the attention of several European clubs recently, after delivering impressive performances that have made him a target for many teams looking to strengthen their midfield.

Al-Ittihad have entered the race to sign Nicolas Raskin, benefiting from the ongoing transfer window in the Saudi Pro League. However, demands from Rangers have prevented the deal from being finalized at this moment.

Nicolas Raskin's future remains open during this period, as interest from Al-Ittihad and Beşiktaş persists, while both parties await Rangers' stance on the offers made to persuade them to part with the player.
