Thelo Aasgaard draws Atalanta interest as Rangers weigh his future

Rangers midfielder Thelo Aasgaard, a 24‑year‑old Norwegian who scored in the World Cup group‑stage loss to France, has entered the transfer radar of Serie A club Atalanta. Italian media report that new Atalanta manager Maurizio Sarri is interested in signing the player after his World Cup performance, while Atalanta have also been linked with fellow Rangers midfielder Nicolas Raskin. The move follows a recent loan swap in which Atalanta’s Ben Godfrey joined Rangers on loan with an option to buy. Aasgaard still has three years on his contract, and any decision will rest with Rangers manager Derek McInnes, who must balance squad needs and potential offers.

The speculation comes as Atalanta, winners of the 2024 Europa League, look to bolster their midfield ahead of the new season, and Rangers consider future squad planning after recent signings such as Lawrence Shankland and the Godfrey loan.
