Manchester United is preparing a €30 million bid for Rangers midfielder Nicolas Raskin, according to a report from Crypto Briefing. The move comes after Raskin’s standout performances in the World Cup, which the outlet described as a 'breakout' tournament for the 23-year-old.
The World Cup that changed everything
Raskin wasn’t a household name before the World Cup. A few months later, he’s the subject of a serious transfer offer from one of the biggest clubs in the world. The numbers back up the hype — the midfielder averaged more tackles and interceptions per game than any other player in his position at the tournament, per public stats. That kind of form doesn’t go unnoticed, especially by scouts at Old Trafford.
Why €30 million?
The reported fee of €30 million is a significant outlay for a player who has never played in the Premier League. But Manchester United’s midfield has been a weak spot this season, and the club’s hierarchy sees Raskin as a player who can slot in immediately. For Rangers, it’s a huge return on their investment — they signed Raskin from Standard Liège for a fraction of that price just two years ago.
What happens next
No formal offer has been made yet, but sources indicate Manchester United will open talks this week. Rangers have not commented publicly on the interest. The transfer window closes on August 31, so there’s time — but United won’t want to drag their feet if another club enters the race.
