Manchester United, Villarreal and Hull City are among the clubs keen on securing the services of Rangers midfielder Nicolas Raskin.

Raskin had a good World Cup for Belgium, and his stock has skyrocketed following his performances.

This has seen Hull City even table a bid for him, but it was turned down by the Light Blues.

Villarreal are also stepping up their pursuit, with Manchester United keeping tabs on any developments.

Nicolas Raskin has been linked with a Rangers exit…

Villarreal remain frontrunners to sign Nicolas Raskin

Despite interest from two Premier League clubs, Villarreal are said to be leading the race to sign the 25-year-old.

That’s according to Spanish media outlet El Gol Digital, who claim that the Yellow Submarine already have an offer on the table to sign him.

Both Hull City and Manchester United are considering making a move, but it would hinge on the midfielder’s preference as well.

Rangers News understands that Hull already tabled a bid for Raskin, but it fell way short of the Ibrox outfit’s valuation.

We reported exclusively that Raskin wants to leave Rangers this summer and has been considering his options.

Are Rangers making any attempts to convince Raskin to stay?

The Light Blues are aware of the interest shown in Raskin, and one source has told Rangers News that they believe that they can demand big money for his services this summer.

Derek McInnes likes the Belgian, but he knows that the club is run as a business and they have to make canny financial decisions.

The Gers boss will be backed to sign another midfielder if the Belgian is shown the door, with two new faces already arriving this summer.

Vanja Dragojevic is expected to be the third, and Raskin’s exit will see the Light Blues bring in a fourth midfielder.

So, there are no attempts to convince the 25-year-old to stay, and he will be allowed to leave if the right offer arrives.
