Villa preparing bid for Raskin. Rangers want £25M for the player.
West Ham also preparing a bid for Hamza Igamane no word of amount.
20 Jun 2025 10:59:49
Rightly so. We should be holding out for as much as possible. Wouldn't be surprised if we accepted 20 with a sell on clause tho. Regarding Igamane, again wouldn't be surprised. If we can make big cash for these 2, plus Dio . I expect huge changes in the squad.
20 Jun 2025 11:14:54
Quite right we should be demanding that. Igamane for me would be £15m rising with incentives as he's not quite the finished article by any means.
20 Jun 2025 11:31:51
Can anyone confirm or deny Raskin has clause giving him 20% of any transfer?
20 Jun 2025 11:37:04
Bar72 think liege will possibly have 20% sell on. Also i still can't see anything about villa in for him.
20 Jun 2025 11:37:26
Bar72 i have no idea but would also confidently deny that would be the case. I'm pretty sure standard leige are to receive 20% of any profit from the 1.5 million Rangers paid for him. I can't see Rangers giving up 40% of their profit, 20 to raskin and 20 to standard liege.
20 Jun 2025 11:38:05
Yes Bar 20% for Standard.
20 Jun 2025 11:38:43
Shame to see him go. But this is absolutely the kind of sale we should be looking for if we're to get our player trading strategy up and running. £20m+ in the bank would give us the opportunity to bring in 4 or 5 good level players (wages notwithstanding) and we really do need not far off a full team of quality new faces if we're going to compete.
20 Jun 2025 11:41:20
Player I doubt has that. Doubt liege have that high either. He had 6 months on his deal, we only purchased in Jan due to Raskin wanting January move only. The % Liege negotiated would be driven with how much we were willing to stump up for him that month.
20 Jun 2025 11:45:39
If this is true another absolute howler from Ross Wilson. Last 6 months of his deal in a season we were already out of the running for the league. I can't see it.
20 Jun 2025 12:09:43
Not trying to be awkward, but genuinely intrigued as to what is meant by preparing a bid?
This would imply they've approached Rangers and confirmed our willingness to sell, received our valuation and obtained permission to speak to the player.
It would also imply the player has been contacted, is open to the move and has provisionally agreed contract length and salary.
As all of this is usually done in advance of a bid being submitted.
{Ed001's Note - I have when the media talk of preparing a bid, it is just utter bollox talk.}
20 Jun 2025 12:34:47
We will bite their hand off for 25 million.
20 Jun 2025 12:42:14
For folk complaining about the sell on % being part of the fee - Raskin was 21 when we singed him (I think) so compensation would be due even no a 'free'. To be frank I've no idea how the Belgian FA goes about assessing that, but it would likely be significantly more than what we paid for Baron I'm guessing. So that leaves us in a position of deciding:
a) do we agree a fee with his club now so e's our player; or
b) wait and take our chance alongside any other clubs that come in for him over the next 6 months, and still be hit with some kind of compensation package which we might not have much control over.
I'm absolutely fine witht he low fee and % clauses we've agreed for him. If folk are annoyed that we could potentially make £20m profit on a player in 2 years, given the low regard Scottish football is held in internationally, then I think nothing will please some!
20 Jun 2025 12:45:37
I don't believe this at all and I am not getting at your info. I just don't think any credible source has stated JT.
20 Jun 2025 12:48:03
Would be a shame to lose them both but those kind of fees let's us practically build a new teaw.
20 Jun 2025 13:14:04
My take on things this summer (going by Press/ RM those ITK) …
RM will have all players in Monday (or Monday week for internationals) . His 1st task is to prepare for Panathinaikos (a win here relieves a lot of pressure in terms or Europe for the season) . I believe there are a number of 'pending exits' for likes of Propper/ Davies/ Dowell/ Cyriel… but unless recruits to replace are ready to go I suspect they'll be here till after that tie (they are Gers players and paid still so are down to play) …after this I suspect some will depart.
In respect of Raskin (and to a lesser extent Igamane), our participation in CL football will have a bearing on them staying. Raskin is now a Full international with a growing reputation and he wants to play at a high level, which I think he's capable of. So we will undoubtedly lose some of our marquee players this summer. What has me positive is that with the new owners, and our improving financial situation, we will get much better money for these desirable types.
Dont forget some of those teams 'keen' on our players (various sources) are not necessarily pushed for time as Europe and domestic leagues really don't kick off for them till august, which is when I expect a few more dominoes to fall.
So yes I suspect our team may look similar going into our big qualifier (initially), however what could be different is our approach and style of play.
End of the day I think we are approaching the season in the correct manner and I think the manager and board WILL get it right.
20 Jun 2025 13:30:54
EHL surely means Villa are busy typing up the fax, no?
20 Jun 2025 13:35:41
Hahahaha, brilliant Sollof!
20 Jun 2025 13:57:15
EHL I'm going to assume that no bid has been placed and at this moment in time you perhaps believe players like Raskin will still be here for this season unless something drastically changes but right now I think reading between the lines these guys are going no where ?.
20 Jun 2025 14:01:25
Does preparing a bid mean having a wee whip round to see who has 25million laying about.
20 Jun 2025 14:03:57
There is no sell on clause for Raskin. Also no compensation fee would have been required as he was an international player, who would have been out of contract in the summer when we signed him in the January. so out of contract is out of contract.
Rangers signed him 6 months early and paid a decent amount for that.
The 20% nonsense is being brought up by Celtic sites on the web and X, don't believe everything they shovel.
20 Jun 2025 14:30:53
The Raskin deal would only be good to us if we get our own transfers bang on, would love to keep him as he was top drawer the last six months and went up a couple of gears, am afraid even tho I love rumours I think it's safe to wait until the scarf is above players head this summer or we could be driven crazy.
20 Jun 2025 15:16:05
If we can get 25 mill then that's incredible for a player with zero trophies won, 2 years left on his contract and currently valued at 10 million, Raskin has quality for sure.
Perhpas the media are running with this as Raskin is an international team mate of Onana and Tielmans both world class midfielders worth 4 to 5 times Raskins current value,
is that the reason for the alleged Villa link? I think we would be doing well to get 15 mill for Raskin considering his injury history with us.
Nothing against the wee guy, love his enthusiasm and he has come on leaos and bounds, we will see by end of transfer window, i'd like him to stay and sign a 2 or 3 year extension, and help us take the League title back.
20 Jun 2025 15:27:45
Sell Raskin buy Miller and maybe a couple of others.
20 Jun 2025 15:31:44
Det there is a sell on with Raskin hope that clears it up for you.
20 Jun 2025 15:44:26
LH did Raskin not win a cup with Rangers?
20 Jun 2025 17:40:35
LaudrupHagi - how do you establish Raskins current value?
20 Jun 2025 18:57:20
EHL I'll have a go at this
I'd say his performances have been getting. Better not just domestically but on the European stage and now on the international stage not looking out of place in the Belgium squad who is full of stars
Playing great against some great teams in our euro run and playing great against our rivals
He's getting better and better and going off of some other transfers I'd say he's well worth nothing short of 18 million for starters
Possibly his passing range and hold up play along with positioning on the pitch his awareness and leadership skills his overall strengths and weaknesses I'm sure comes into it if we really break it down
But I still land on nothing short of around £18 million to start the bidding?
Just my humble opinion.
20 Jun 2025 18:59:11
I'd be shocked if we agreed to a 20% sell on for raskin he only had 6 months left on contract when we got him and only gave liege a fee to let him leave early.
20 Jun 2025 19:05:15
Ehl laudrup uses one of those sites that place values on players is it transfer market I think he uses.
It's alway undervaluations whenever I've seen one quoted
For me, and I've said this for months now raskin is £25m for me. Only difference is I think we don't need to have the 5 in add ins since I originally said it.
20 Jun 2025 19:42:53
Raskin out for 25m and Miller in 6-7m makes good business and football sense to me.
20 Jun 2025 20:11:36
Cheers Stevie - that makes sense.
20 Jun 2025 21:55:44
No worries Ehl. ??.
20 Jun 2025 23:23:20
Apparantly Raskin is very happy at Rangers and in no rush to move so pressure won't come from his end when bids come in. If we are offered 25m he's gone.
21 Jun 2025 05:33:38
Millers value has doubled to 8 million from 4 million since last season at Motherwell, rising scottish star young Lennon is.
21 Jun 2025 05:35:43
EHL - i get them from Transfermarkt, not saying their valuations are spot on, but they are close, and good for reference, though i understand a club may pay well over those valuations if they really want a player for there team.
The prices we have paid for several players have been pretty close to Transfermarkt valutaions epsecially if we payed full price.
21 Jun 2025 05:37:55
Star - was Raskin not injured during the cup win, and if so he did not play in that match hence he has not won any cups.
21 Jun 2025 06:31:26
Stevie when it comes to our players it's always over valuations with the exceptions of Sakala, Bassey, Patterson, Aribo, Kamara, as we let ours walk for free or sell at hugely undervalued prices.
