Beşiktaş pursues Rangers midfielder Nicolas Raskin again ahead of January window
Summary

Beşiktaş has renewed its interest in Rangers midfielder Nicolas Raskin as the January transfer window approaches. This marks the fourth time the Turkish club has attempted to secure the 25-year-old Belgian international, who has become integral to Rangers since joining from Standard Liège in January 2023. Raskin had previously been close to a move late in the summer window before opting to stay and playing a full match against Falkirk. The talks are expected to resume with a reported €15m valuation placed on Raskin, whose contract runs until 2028. Rangers manager Derek McInnes is urged to retain Raskin unless a substantial offer is made, as replacing him midseason could prove difficult.
