Manchester United targets Rangers midfielder Nicolas Raskin in €30 million deal

Belgian midfielder Nicolas Raskin, who impressed at the 2026 FIFA World Cup with two assists and a standout performance in Belgium’s 4‑1 win over the United States, is being pursued by Manchester United. Rangers, his current club, have set an asking price of around €30 million (£20 million‑plus) and are in a strong negotiating position as his contract runs until 2028. United must also consider a parallel pursuit of goalkeeper Ederson from Atalanta, which could affect the final fee for Raskin. The Scottish club sees the transfer as a potential record payday, while the player has expressed a desire to leave Ibrox this summer. Competition from other Premier League sides such as Aston Villa has been reported, but United remain the front‑runner for the Belgian international.

Raskin’s move would mark a rare direct transfer from the Old Firm to a top‑six English club, highlighting the World Cup’s influence on the summer market.
