Thelo Aasgaard faces an uncertain future at Rangers despite joining the club last summer from Luton Town.
The Norway international, who made headlines at the World Cup for his long-range goal against France, signed a four-year contract at Ibrox.
His first season at the club was extremely underwhelming as he managed to score just eight goals despite playing 48 games in all competitions.
If Rangers are to sell Thelo Aasgaard, how much should he be sold for?
Rangers make decision to retain Thelo Aasgaard’s services
Rangers are against the idea of cashing in on Thelo Aasgaard this summer, despite his poor start to life in Scotland, claims Andy Devlin.
The Scottish Sun journalist has stated that Derek McInnes is keen on working with the Norway international for next season.
This comes after reports surfaced of the 24-year-old being linked with a move to Serie A side Atalanta.
With them sending Ben Godfrey to Ibrox, it was initially claimed that they wanted the Norwegian heading in the other direction.
As things stand, that is not likely to be entertained by the decision makers at Rangers.
Why selling Aasgaard may be considered in the final week of the transfer window
The transfer window is extremely unpredictable, and a lot of things are expected to change until the final week of it.
Rangers may see players available that they thought were not, and quick action may need to be taken on them.
In such an instance, they may turn to Aasgaard as he’s a sellable asset and raise the funds to sign their desired targets.

There is also the possibility of clubs tabling bids for the Norwegian and him deciding to leave, giving the Gers a chance to make a healthy profit after just a year.
Given his performances last season, it is clear that he is not someone who can be a regular starter, so it makes little sense to keep him in the hope that he can become good in a few years.
If there is the option to sell him for twice as much as they bought him, they would undoubtedly consider it.
The current “not for sale” position may be for the time being, as McInnes may want him to return from the World Cup, train with the team for a couple of weeks, and then make a decision on his future.
