Besiktas to Make New Transfer Move for Nicolas Raskin in the Mid-Season
The Black-and-Whites are taking action to add Nicolas Raskin to their squad in accordance with the report by head coach Vincenzo Italiano.
Aiming to strengthen its squad during the mid-season transfer window, Besiktas is preparing to knock on Rangers' door for Belgian midfielder Nicolas Raskin, whom they had pursued previously.
Transfer Efforts Gain Momentum
Besiktas has accelerated its efforts to strengthen its squad during the mid-season transfer window and is preparing to make contacts for the names on its transfer list.
It was learned that the report submitted by head coach Vincenzo Italiano to the management included Nicolas Raskin alongside Joe Willock.
Past Negotiations with Rangers
It is reported that the Black-and-White club will make a new attempt for the Belgian midfielder, whom they previously wanted to transfer three times.
Having come very close to an agreement with Rangers during the past summer transfer window, Besiktas wants to prevent the talks from failing in the final stage.
Contract and Transfer Fee Status
It is stated that the transfer fee for the 25-year-old footballer, whose contract with the Scottish team runs until 2028, is approximately 15 million Euros.
The fact that Raskin has not signed a new contract and Rangers' consideration of the risk of a drop in value at the end of the season are among the details strengthening Besiktas' hand.
Leandro Trossard's Role
Leandro Trossard is expected to undertake an important role in the transfer process and talk with his compatriot to explain the club's goals.
The management hopes that Trossard's positive references and accounts regarding life in Turkey will be influential in Raskin's decision.
