Nicolas Raskin is in no rush to settle the ongoing transfer saga as the Rangers midfielder was spotted taking some well-earned downtime in Greece alongside his partner, Noa Sadek.
Following a gruelling FIFA World Cup campaign with Belgium and a heartwarming return to his roots before jetting off, the 25-year-old is officially enjoying a post-tournament holiday, as revealed by Rangers News.
Social media updates shared by Sadek confirm the pair are relaxing on a sunny Greek island escape, taking in scenic ocean views and driving around in an open-top Jeep.

Raskin is keeping fit in Rangers colours
Despite being miles away from Glasgow and resting ahead of pre-season decisions, Raskin’s mind is not completely off the pitch.
In one of three Instagram stories shared by Sadek, the Belgium international is seen working out in a black-and-white clip, skipping rope inside.
Crucially for Ibrox observers, Raskin is sporting a pair of official Rangers shorts with the club crest clearly visible on the thigh as he puts in the hard yards during his holiday.
What this means for his Ibrox future
Raskin’s vacation delay aligns directly with the timeline following his summer exploits in North America, where he helped guide Belgium to the World Cup quarter-finals.
While a host of European clubs and Premier League outfits continue to monitor his situation following his standout international performances, Raskin wearing the Ibrox crest while keeping himself in peak physical condition shows he remains professional and linked to Derek McInnes‘ plans until told otherwise.

Nicolas Raskin has been linked with a Rangers exit…
With Rangers placing a heavy £20million-plus price tag on his head and refusing to rush into accepting sub-par offers, any movement on his potential exit is expected to remain on hold while the midfielder completes his break.
As per FIFPRO guidelines, Raskin is entitled to 21 days of rest before returning to training with his club, but it remains to be seen if he will stay away for that long.
