Nico Raskin Next Club Odds: Where Next for the Rangers Midfielder?
Nicolas Raskin has made it clear he wants to leave Rangers this summer, and the race for his signature is already taking shape.
Unlike the free transfers that usually dominate an Ibrox summer, this one comes with a price tag - Rangers value the 25-year-old at around £20 million, and his contract runs until 2028.
That means whoever wants the Belgian midfielder will have to pay, and a strong World Cup will only push the number higher.
Serie A side Atalanta lead the way, but there is Premier League interest in the background and one eye-catching swap rumour doing the rounds in Scotland.
Here at FreeBets.com, we've run through the most credible destinations and assessed which clubs are realistically in the frame.

Below we assess the most likely destinations in the betting market.

| Tottenham Hotspur | 6/1 |
Odds are implied probabilities based on current transfer reporting - no current markets are available at UK betting sites.
Atalanta
Atalanta are the frontrunners, and the timing makes a lot of sense.
Sky Sport Italia's Gianluca di Marzio reports the Bergamo club have identified Raskin as a target as they prepare for life under new boss Maurizio Sarri, with the midfielder lined up as a direct replacement for the departing Ederson.
Ederson is the key to the whole thing - the Brazilian is joining Manchester United in a deal worth up to £38.8 million, which leaves Atalanta with both a gap in midfield and the money to fill it.
The fit is obvious.
Raskin has spoken before about wanting to test himself in a top-five league, and Serie A with European football attached would be a clear step up from the Scottish Premiership.
The one obstacle is the fee.
Rangers want around £20 million, and Atalanta will have to decide whether that's a price worth paying for a 25-year-old with two years left on his deal.
No formal bid had landed as of late June, but of all the names in the frame, this is the one with the most smoke.
Bologna (Ferguson Swap Deal)
This is the rumour Scottish football can't stop talking about, even if it rests on very little.
Former Rangers man Ian McCall floated the idea on BBC Sportsound of a swap deal - Raskin to Bologna, Scotland midfielder Lewis Ferguson to Ibrox, with cash on top.
He was upfront that it was "a total hunch" rather than anything based on inside information.
The appeal of the Ferguson half is easy to see.
He's a 26-year-old Scotland international with Rangers in his blood - son of Derek and nephew of Barry.
Ferguson also played under Derek McInnes at Aberdeen and now captains Bologna after being named Serie A's best midfielder in 2023-24.
The problem is the Raskin half.
There's no concrete reporting that Bologna actually want him - the only firm Italian interest on the table is from Atalanta.
For now, treat this as the romantic option rather than the likely one. If reporting emerges that Bologna are genuinely keen, the picture changes quickly.
Stay at Rangers
For all the noise, Rangers don't have to sell.
Raskin has two years left on his contract, no formal bids have arrived, and the club are under no financial pressure to cash in.
He has also said he wants to sit down with new manager Derek McInnes before deciding anything.
McInnes may well want a look at him before waving him off, and if suitors baulk at the £20 million valuation, the Belgian stays put and Rangers keep a serious asset for a title push.
The counter-argument, and it's a strong one, is that this is the moment to sell - peak value, a big World Cup, and a buyer with money to spend.
Wait too long and the price only falls as the contract runs down.
Tottenham Hotspur
If Raskin gets his long-stated wish of a Premier League move, Tottenham are the name most often attached to it.
TEAMtalk lists Spurs among the English clubs to have scouted him over the past 18 months, and the platform would tick every box for a player who has talked about reaching the very top of the game.
The caveats are real, though.
There's been no formal bid, and the interest looks like monitoring rather than active pursuit.
It's a credible long-term fit more than an imminent deal - but if an English club does move, this is the most likely one.
Premier League - other
Beyond Spurs, Raskin has been watched by a long list of English clubs.
TEAMtalk names Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, West Ham, Wolves, Leeds and Brighton among those to have scouted him, with Porto, Real Betis and Besiktas keeping tabs from abroad.
The same caveat applies across the board - this is interest, not offers, and a £20 million fee is a stiff ask for several of them.
But Raskin's profile - a young, energetic, two-way midfielder with a goal in him - is exactly the type Premier League recruitment departments like, and it would be no surprise if one of them firmed things up before the window shuts.
