Thought I'd do a wee round up of rumours just to consolidate everything into one post guys.
So currently linked to 4 keepers:
Sebastiano Desplanches
Radek Vitek
Ivor Pandur
Pierce Charles
Bryan Reynolds (RB Westerlo) still linked but claims we're in competition with Stade Rennais
Ben Godfrey to be announced today.
Falchener, Widell, Graham all still linked.
Penrice name refuses to go away but was posted by a bait account on X and then shutdown by Ewen Cameron.
Jens Hjerto Dahl's name resurfaced and a poster on Follow Follow claiming we have offered him a contract but Celtic are also in for him and the UCL could persuade him to go there. I don't imagine it's went as far as a contract offer though.
Lewis Ferguson still linked to us but asking price supposedly now a minimum of €20m plus add ons. A prominent poster of Follow Follow saying Cavanagh met Ferguson whilst in America and both are keen to get a deal done. Apparently we are willing to pay €17m for him.
Nothing on the wingers front and no other strikers linked.
Outgoings wise
Raskin linked with Betis, Hull, Atalanta and Bologna. Apparently we've rejected the opening bid from Hull and they are trying to negotiate the price down as we want £20m, that's according to a news outlet in Hull and a journo from that paper.
Fernandez hasn't been seen in any preseason footage and rumours on here of a record breaking bid. Stade Rennais apparently have him on a shortlist for CB's of 3 names and West Ham linked.
Sterling linked with an exit on here
Butland expected to leave, Hull and Nottingham Forest named so far.
Bajrami expected to head back to Serie A but a report last month from Albania claimed he was happy to remain at Rangers due to the wages he's being paid.
Atalanta linked with Aasgaard yesterday.
Rice completed loan to Killie yesterday.
Think that's it lads

Widdel is supposed to be an awful defender.
Bert Konrerman springs to mins when I read up on Widdel.
29 Jun 2026 09:17:02
Fernandez, like all players that played internationals in June, is given more time off.
Expect to see him, Antman, Chermiti, Miovski etc all back this week.
29 Jun 2026 09:36:59
Personally I'd like to see Bajrami get more game time. ? Maybe an unpopular opinion, but there's a quality player there! I know he's only showed it in flashes, but when he has, he's produced some 'wow' moments for sure. Same with Aasgaard, think it'd be a mistake to let him go.
Can't see us meeting Bologna's valuation for Ferguson, sadly, especially if a bidding war begins. Reckon he'll be getting offered some crazy wages from the other interested parties also.
29 Jun 2026 09:42:11
From all the guys there I'd like:
Vitek out of all the goalies, Falchner from the CBs, Ferguson 100% would be the one I want the most out of all.
Would love Dahl. I don't think he will want to come to Scottish football. I think only reason we are even in with a shot of Lewis is cause he's a Rangers fan; a player of his quality, if he wasn't, wouldn't be entertaining us.
Out of the players leaving, I'd like to keep Manny and Chermiti for another season and sell Raskin and Dio. I can't believe I'm saying this as well, but think I'd like to keep Aasgaard. I think he might come good.
29 Jun 2026 09:45:45
Fernandez still on holiday. ?
29 Jun 2026 09:47:01
Cheers Ayrshire, like a poster said, Fernandez was on international duty a couple of weeks ago.
29 Jun 2026 09:48:44
Shows you how ridiculous the rules are. Hull need to sell to bring in 6 million before 30th June. Once 30th June is past, they are trying to sign Raskin if rumours are true. Whole thing is a farce.
29 Jun 2026 09:53:11
The Bologna 'valuation' for Ferguson makes me think their view on a Raskin deal is essentially a swap, with no money likely changing hands. Clearly we would rather afford Ferguson and recoup say EUR5m.
Question is, if the only option is a straight swap, are we happy with that? As I assume that would then mean we'd probably need to sell another prize asset to help fund our overall summer transactions.
29 Jun 2026 10:38:52
I'd take a straight swap, mate. I think that's a deal that favours us right now. However, I do think Nico Raskin will become a great player in Italy. Proper excel.
29 Jun 2026 11:04:07
Nobody just does straight swaps these days, too many complications getting two players, agents and clubs to agree everything plus financial rules. So, never going to happen.
29 Jun 2026 12:55:22
Any news on Danilo moving?
29 Jun 2026 13:12:54
I don't think we are still interested in Reynolds no matter what the bloggers say. We have Sterling, have just signed McCrorie and now have Godfrey who can cover when Sterling is injured.
Signing him kind of negates the need for another right back unless Dujon is leaving.
Fernandez is not still on holiday, by the way, there was a photo of him and Kyle Glasgow at training.
29 Jun 2026 13:58:31
Fernandez was seen in the Godfrey announcement this morning.
29 Jun 2026 15:11:25
Ignore my post about Fernandez, it wasn't him.
