Rangers are bracing themselves for offers from Bologna for midfielders Nico Raskin and Connor Barron, with the Italian club looking to sign one or both players.

What's happening?

Bologna have opened preliminary talks with Rangers over a potential transfer for Raskin, with a fee of around £20million expected. Raskin has been a standout performer at Ibrox since arriving from Standard Liège, and his displays at the 2026 World Cup have only increased interest.

Why it matters for Rangers

The potential transfer of Raskin or Barron could generate vital funds for Rangers, but losing key figures so soon after a managerial change carries risks, as the team sits 2nd in Premiership with 69 points, just 1 point behind leaders Heart Of Midlothian. Rangers have sounded out the potential for a deal involving Bologna's Lewis Ferguson, which could suit all parties, allowing Rangers to refresh their squad while giving both midfielders a chance at European football.

What comes next?

The transfer window is gathering pace, and Rangers face difficult decisions, with the team looking to build on their recent form, having won their last two games, including a 5-2 win over Falkirk on 2026-05-16, and scored 66 goals this season, with a goal difference of +35. The potential transfer of Raskin or Barron will be closely watched, as Rangers look to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season, with the team having conceded just 31 goals this season, and having a recent form of 2W-0D-3L, with 2 wins in their last 2 games
