Current discussions for Rangers Star to leave Ibrox

The players returned for pre-season training with Glasgow Rangers as Russell Martin Prepares his group before clarification of the Champions League qualifications next month.

Light blues have less than a month to prepare for their two -legged tie, while they are looking to go to the next qualifying stage and bring continental football of a regular high level to Ibrox.

Martin has a lot of work to do on the coaches to ensure that Rangers players know what their roles are and how they will play his system effectively, but he also has a lot of work to do in the summer transfer window.

For example, Cyriel desders could be released from Glasgow before the end of the window In the midst of the declared interest From Aek Athens, who pushed it to sign it, and Feyenoord.

It now remains to be seen if the Nigerian international will still be in Ibrox when their Champions League qualifiers are starting.

He may not be the only star to leave Scottish Première Giants this summer, however, as Nicolas Raskin was also linked to an outing.

Why lose Nicolas Raskin would be a blow for the Rangers

The Belgian international has aroused great interest after his performances during the 2024/25 season for The Light Blues, because a certain number of Premier League teams would like to sign it.

Wolverhampton Wanderers, Aston Villa and Leeds United are all would have looked at The old standard Liege talent, which is Valued at 25 million pounds sterling by the Scottish side.

Raskin joining one of these three teams this summer, despite the money that could be involved in an agreement, it would be a blow for Martin because of the quality he would lose from the XI.

During the 2024/25 season, the Belgian central midfielder was particularly impressive in the Premiership with his exhibitions in the middle of the Park for the Gers.

As you can see in the table above, Raskin carried a threat as a scorer and creator of goals for his side, which shows that Martin would lose a quality operator at the upper end of the terrain.

However, the Rangers could lose another player who would be even greater than the star of the midfielder because of his contributions to attacks for the team this season.

The European team hopes to sign the Rangers star

According to reports on the continentLigue 1 Side Lille now “Hope” to finalize an agreement to sign the international Hamza Igamane of Rangers before the end of the summer transfer window.

The journalist claims that talks continue between the two clubs to reach an agreement on transfer fees, while the French team apparently approaches the central management of the Gers.

Tavolieri adds that the 22-year-old has already agreed personal conditions with Lille, with a verbal agreement now in place, and this suggests that the only obstacle to jump over is the transfer costs.

Igamane would be assessed at a Fees of approximately 15 million pounds sterling By the Rangers and it remains to be seen whether or not the French part will be ready to pay so much money for the versatile striker.

This last update of Tavolieri suggests that Lille is convinced that they can conclude an agreement for him, since they hope to finalize the terms on a transfer for the attacker, and lose the attacker would be an even greater loss than Raskin for Martin.

Why losing igaman would be a hard blow for the rangers

If Igamane seals a permanent transfer to Lille this summer, the Light Blues would lose their most effective finisher and scorer before the 2025/26 campaign.

The Moroccan star had a great first season in Glasgow with the Gers, marking 16 goals in 46 games In all the competitions for the Scottish giants, and presented its quality in front of the goal.

Dessers ended the Première season as top scorer for the Rangers with a transport of 18 goals of 19.4 xgThis shows that it was useless in front of the goal with the quality of the chances that arose.

Igamane, which only started 23 of his 33 championship appearances For the club, provided much more quality as a finisher with the chances he had in the Premiership for the Gers.

As you can see in the table above, the Moroccan international is the most effective finisher at the club, since the loan of Vaclav Cerny de Wolfsburg ended, after a return of 12 goals of only 9.84 XG.

At the age of 22, Igamane also has a lot of time to develop and improve even more under Martin coaching, if he remains. While Raskin is a little older and closer to his peak at the age of 24.

Raised costs of 25 million pounds sterling for Raskin and 15 million pounds Sterling for Igamane also suggest that the Rangers would not get as much value for the attacker, compared to the midfield.

Consequently, selling the Moroccan striker would be an even greater loss for the Gers, because they would obtain 10 million pounds less for a player who offered more revolutionary quality in the last third, and who has more time in front of him to improve more.

This is why Martin should hope that Lille fails to finalize an agreement with the club in the coming days and weeks, because Igamane could be a key player for him next season.
