Rangers ace Nicolas Raskin 'wanted' by La Liga giants

Rangers star Nicolas Raskin is reportedly wanted by Spanish giants Real Betis, as they aim to replace two key midfielders.

Russell Martin faces a fight to keep hold of the Ibrox club's star player this summer, with interest growing in the Belgium international. 

The 24-year-old has two years remaining on his contract, having arrived in 2023 from Standard Liege for around £1.75m.

His transfer valuation has increased exponentially since then, with the Scottish Premiership giants in line to pocket a huge profit in any future sale.

While Martin would love to keep Raskin, there is a possibility that he is sold this summer. 

And Spanish media outlet Mucho Deporte claims that Betis could be the club to test the water. 

They say that Rasin has impressed manager Manuel Pellegrini as he looks at potential replacements for outgoing midfielders Johnny Cardoso and William Carvalho.

Both players played key roles in helping the Seville side to the final of last season's Europa Conference League, where they were defeated by Chelsea.

Carvalho - who hasn't actually left the club yet unlike Cardoso - also won the 2016 Euros with Portugal, and the 2018/19 Nations League.
