Details of the Nicolas Raskin Transfer
Before submitting their UEFA Europa League squad list, Besiktas sat at the negotiating table with Rangers for Nicolas Raskin. While the black-and-whites offered a loan deal with a purchase option, the Scottish side demanded an increase in the loan fee and that the option be made mandatory.
