According to Turkish daily Sabah, Besiktas and Rangers have agreed on a transfer fee for the signing of Nicolas Raskin in the January transfer window. A report, via Fotomac, states that the fee is €17m and that the preliminary agreement also includes several add-ons. Raskin has reportedly been persuaded to make the move, and a contract of €5m per year has been agreed with the midfielder. Leandro Trossard is said to have been involved in convincing his fellow Belgian. The Turkish daily notes that Besiktas made approaches for Raskin during the summer, and although it was suggested a verbal agreement was in place, the club later refused to meet the demands of Rangers. The interest from Besiktas in Raskin has continued and they consider him a key target for January.

Besiktas are preparing to make their fourth attempt to sign Nicolas Raskin from Rangers, having failed to sign him on three occasions. The last attempt failed at its final stage during the summer window. Rangers are open to letting him leave in the next window, and there are talks of a €15m price.

Besiktas admire Nicolas Raskin and are continuing their effort to bring him to Istanbul. The club's manager, Vincenzo Italiano, wants to strengthen his midfield in January, and the Besiktas hierarchy has a plan to sign the Rangers player. According to the Turkish daily Takvim, Besiktas hope that Raskin’s international teammate Leandro Trossard can play an important part in convincing him to join them in January by giving him positive recommendations about the club. Besiktas wanted to bring Raskin to Turkey last summer and made a late attempt, but a deal was not completed. Raskin has two years remaining on his contract with Rangers, and the club might view the winter window as an opportunity to receive a large fee.

According to La Dernière Heure, Nicolas Raskin was linked to Manchester United, AS Roma, Aston Villa, Villarreal, Real Betis, Bologna, Hull City and Beşiktaş, though only Beşiktaş and clubs from the Middle East wanted to pursue a transfer. On 2 September, Raskin stated to Het Nieuwsblad that he was informed there was an offer from Beşiktaş, that there was interest, and that an agreement was almost reached. Raskin played a match that evening and declined the offer. He told Het Nieuwsblad the transfer did not fail because of him, his performances, or the clubs, but for reasons outside everyone's control. Beşiktaş president Serdal Adalı told Sporx that the transfer did not happen because Rangers included Raskin in the match squad. Adalı also said Beşiktaş have been interested in Raskin for two or three years but a problem has occurred each time. Rangers coach Derek McInnes told Rangers News that the focus is now on the January transfer window, and told Glasgow World that Turkish clubs can pay astronomical amounts that are hard to refuse.

It had emerged that Beşiktaş management had reached an agreement with Nicolas Raskin, but the transfer was cancelled within hours. Beşiktaş President Serdal Adalı said that during the transfer window they had arranged his flight so he would come after a match. Adalı stated that in the previous transfer window the player's club had not wanted him, but this time the club themselves came to Beşiktaş. He said they contacted the player’s agent and approved the transfer. The President stated they had agreed that if he came after the match, he would make it in time for the medical examination, but his club included Raskin in the match squad and played him. Adalı said the club sent the papers, and Beşiktaş signed them. The transfer was not completed because his coach did not want to allow him to leave. Nicolas Raskin said that he rejected the offer, considered the matter closed, and played in the match, adding they would see what happens in the next transfer windows. It was learned that Beşiktaş are expected to make attempts for the player during the winter transfer window and that their first priority will be a midfield transfer.

Nicolas Raskin said that on the morning of September 1, he was called and told there was an offer from Besiktas, that there was interest, and that an agreement was almost reached. Raskin stated that he ultimately turned down the offer from Besiktas while on the team bus to Falkirk. He described Besiktas as a very good club that competes for trophies in Turkey and plays in the Europa League. Raskin admitted his disappointment that the move did not happen, stating it was somewhat disappointing because he was mentally prepared to leave.

Nicolas Raskin was mentally ready to leave Rangers this summer, but a move did not happen despite a significant push from Besiktas before the transfer window in Turkey closed. Raskin told the Belgian outlet Sporza that it was a bit of a disappointment because he was mentally ready to leave. He is now focused on Rangers and is prepared to wait until future windows for a move.

Rangers rejected two offers from Besiktas for Nico Raskin during the summer transfer window. Sebastien Ledure, a legal adviser to Nico Raskin, referenced the failed transfer attempt and suggested that Raskin might need to take a more active role in his future transfers. Ledure stated that transfers can sometimes fail due to a clash of interests between clubs or between club intermediaries.

Nicolas Raskin missed two Rangers matches at the end of August amid transfer speculation. According to sources who have spoken to Football Insider, Rangers will demand more than £10million for Raskin's services. The club turned down a loan offer from Besiktas which was lower than their valuation before the Turkish window closed. It is generally accepted that Raskin could leave Ibrox in the middle of the season if an acceptable offer is made.

Nicolas Raskin was close to leaving Rangers in the summer transfer window before a deal with Besiktas collapsed. According to reports in Turkey, Besiktas is already preparing a January move to sign Raskin and is hoping to resume their deal from the summer. To sign the midfielder this winter, Besiktas may have to pay more than £10m. It is not confirmed whether Vaclav Cerny will be involved in any negotiations.

Nico Raskin is expected to remain at Rangers for the season as a move to a top five league did not happen and bids from Besiktas were rejected. Discussions have taken place with Raskin, who wants to concentrate now, work with the club and handle the situation as well as possible.

Nicolas Raskin agreed to personal terms with Besiktas, but Rangers prevented the midfielder's transfer to Turkey. The club from Istanbul made several bids to sign Raskin, all of which were rejected by Rangers. According to a report from Turkish journalist Ali Ece, Rangers blocked any bid from Besiktas for Raskin due to Besiktas not accepting any offers from Rangers for the re-signing of Vaclav Cerny. Ali Ece also stated that an agreement between Besiktas and Raskin had been reached, and that the offer from Rangers for Cerny was 7 million, whereas Besiktas's valuation was 12 million. He further stated that Rangers' refusal to sell Raskin was a consequence of Besiktas's refusal to sell Cerny.

Nicolas Raskin appeared to have a potential destination in Turkey after interest from elsewhere failed to produce a deal before several major European windows closed. Raskin’s contract runs until 2028. The situation progressed on Wednesday when Besiktas secured Rangers' approval for the transfer, subject to the player’s approval. Assistant manager Alan Archibald confirmed that Rangers rejected a loan proposal which included a sizeable fee but no obligation to buy. According to Turkish journalist Murat Ozen, Raskin had initially been willing to join Besiktas while Rangers resisted the proposed terms. The same report stated that later, the club were reportedly prepared to approve the offer, but Raskin was no longer ready to make the move and rejected the opportunity. Sky Sports has reported that Rangers have now rejected a further Besiktas bid.

Besiktas remains interested in Nicolas Raskin, with the club continuing to hold talks regarding a potential move from Ibrox. Sercan Dikme, a journalist for Sports Digitale, reported on X that the management of the Turkish side is now internally evaluating making a third bid for the Belgium international. The deadline to register squads for the league phase of the Europa League has passed, and if Besiktas signs Raskin, he will not be able to play for the club in the competition until the next stage. Earlier this summer, Andrew Cavenagh valued Raskin at more than £20 million.

Besiktas had been attempting to sign Nicolas Raskin and had initially agreed a deal with Rangers for the 25-year-old. The midfielder was also interested in the move, having spoken to international teammate Leandro Trossard. After an initial loan with an option to buy was agreed, Rangers then demanded a higher loan fee and insisted that the purchase option be made mandatory, which led to a delay in negotiations. During that delay, Rangers fans expressed their opinion that Raskin was the team’s most important player and did not want to see him leave. Raskin was then included in the matchday squad for the game against Falkirk. After that game, he declared that he did not want to leave Ibrox, despite Rangers later accepting Besiktas’ new offer. Raskin changed his mind about the transfer and consequently the deal was not completed.

Besiktas submitted a permanent transfer proposal for Nico Raskin for £13.7m (€16m, $18.5m), but Rangers rejected the offer. The bid was 30% short of the £20m (€23m, $27m) that Rangers have wanted throughout the summer. A verbal outline of a deal had been discussed, but personal terms were never agreed and the structure of the deal did not satisfy Rangers. Unless Besiktas raise their offer substantially, Raskin will stay at Rangers. According to sources, Rangers will open talks over a new contract if Raskin is still a Rangers player after the transfer window closes.

Besiktas sent in another late bid for Nicolas Raskin, which was a permanent proposal. Andrew Cavenagh had personally intervened to block Raskin's exit after learning about the terms of a possible agreement with Besiktas. According to STV journalist Raman Bhardwaj, this permanent bid, which followed a loan offer, has also been rejected by Rangers. The offer did not meet the club's valuation. As the transfer window in Turkiye is open longer than in Scotland, it is not known whether Besiktas will make any further offers.

Besiktas have made a permanent offer for Nicolas Raskin after Rangers had previously rejected an initial loan offer from them. Foot Mercato journalist Santi Aouna reported that Besiktas made an upfront bid of £10.3m to Rangers. According to Santi Aouna, Besiktas also sent a new offer of 12M€ for the transfer of Nicolas Raskin, with negotiations ongoing at the time.

According to The Daily Record, Derek McInnes is confident Rangers have rejected a bid from Besiktas to sign Nico Raskin on a loan deal with a £12million option. The offer was swiftly rejected by both the Ibrox club and Raskin himself. Reports in Istanbul claim that a second bid from Besiktas was rejected. The Turkish transfer window is open until Friday, and Besiktas might make another attempt. McInnes stated that Raskin had an opportunity to leave but it was not something he or the club wanted or considered.

Besiktas has reportedly made a final attempt to sign Nicolas Raskin, submitting a €12 million offer to Glasgow Rangers for his transfer. Negotiations are said to be ongoing between the two clubs. Clubs that are participating in the Champions League have until midnight to submit their player lists to UEFA.

According to Sacha Tavolieri, the transfer deal involving Nicolas Raskin and Besiktas JK has collapsed. The clubs had agreed on a deal, but Nicolas Raskin is not convinced by the project offered to him by Besiktas JK. The transfer will not proceed and the deal is cancelled.

A possible transfer of Nicolas Raskin to Besiktas did not happen because Rangers rejected a loan offer from the Super Lig club. For now, the midfielder has been included in the Light Blues' squad to play against Falkirk.

According to Sacha Tavolieri, Rangers FC and Besiktas JK reached an agreement this morning for Nicolas Raskin based on a €2M paid loan plus a €12M purchase option. However, the American owner of Rangers decided to block the deal upon learning of it. Nicolas Raskin has also not yet given his approval. Discussions are reportedly ongoing to resolve the situation in the final stages. If a resolution is not found, Besiktas will pursue another target.

Rangers are in talks with Besiktas over a late move for Nicolas Raskin. Fabrizio Romano claimed that a verbal agreement has been reached, with the final decision left to the player. However, according to Sky Sports, an agreement for the transfer does not exist and never has. The report from Sky Sports states that Rangers turned down a loan approach from Besiktas. The Super Lig club's proposal included a loan fee described as significant and an option to buy, but this bid was rejected, and the deal is currently considered to be off. The report adds that Besiktas might return with a new proposal, but it is not clear if they will.

According to STV Sport, Besiktas have made a move to sign Nicolas Raskin from Rangers. It is understood that no agreement has been reached between the two clubs yet. The Turkish side made their approach late on Wednesday night. Their transfer window closes on Friday, and the window for Scottish clubs closes on Thursday. Nicolas Raskin has to continue to train until an offer is made that the club needs to consider.

Yagiz Sabuncuoglu reported via X that Besiktas have agreed to an initial loan move for Nicolas Raskin from Rangers, and that the deal will include an option to buy rather than an obligation. It is also said that an agreement on personal terms with Nicolas Raskin is close.

Besiktas offered a significant loan fee as part of a deal to take Nico Raskin on loan for the season, which also included an option to buy him next summer. Rangers rejected the attempt. A senior club source stated that the club does not intend to loan out one of their best players. Rangers are only willing to consider significant financial offers for Nico Raskin, who has two years left on his contract. It is not known if Besiktas will return with an offer for a permanent sale. The Turkish transfer window does not shut until Friday.

Journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu reports that Rangers have made a late decision to attempt to change the terms of Nicolas Raskin’s proposed move to Beşiktaş, after initially accepting an offer for the midfielder. According to reports in Türkiye, an agreement was previously in place between Rangers and Beşiktaş for a loan with a purchase clause. The deal was advancing, and Raskin was convinced to make the move after a meeting with international teammate Leandro Trossard. Now, with the deal in the final stages, Rangers want to change the terms. Sabuncuoğlu also reported that they are rejecting improved terms from the Turkish club. Contacts between the two clubs are ongoing to find a resolution.

Rangers and Besiktas are attempting to agree on a deal in principle for Nico Raskin, however, personal terms are not yet settled and the transfer is dependent on the Belgian international accepting the move. Raskin is open to joining Besiktas and is in talks regarding a four-year contract. According to sources, a loan-to-buy deal is the approach favoured by Besiktas. This arrangement would suit the Turkish side and allow them to pay less next season because the midfielder will be entering the last year of his contract. If he accepts, Raskin will leave before the Turkish transfer window closes on Friday.

Fabrizio Romano reports that Besiktas have reached a verbal agreement in principle with Rangers for Nicolas Raskin. The deal is now contingent on the player's decision, and talks are reported to be underway.

Nico Raskin has not travelled with the Rangers squad for the Conference League play-off second leg against FK Jablonec on Thursday evening due to a potential transfer. Derek McInnes confirmed that the Belgium international was left in Glasgow because of a potential transfer. Besiktas have been in contact over a deal. According to sources, the Turkish club are not the only interested party, with interest from England, Italy and Spain having been established this summer. Rangers have set a valuation for Raskin of £25million (€29m, $34m), which reflects his importance to the side and the two years remaining on his contract. Rangers accept that other teams will seek to negotiate a lower price, though a fee of £20m (€23m, $27m) is seen as achievable and would likely trigger his sale.

Beşiktaş are interested again in Rangers midfielder Nicolas Raskin this month. Fotospor reports that the club has made another approach for the player, which he has again rejected. The Turkish club, who are attracted to Raskin's combative nature, had also previously tried to sign the Belgian in the summer. At the time, it was stated that Beşiktaş manager Sergen Yalcin wanted to sign a defensive midfielder following Gedson Fernandes’ departure. Beşiktaş had intended to increase their efforts to sign the 25-year-old this month. According to Fotospor, Raskin is not interested in a transfer to the Turkish Super Lig.

Rangers would demand a transfer fee of 15 million euros for Nicolas Raskin. Besiktas would now consider that amount too high and, according to Turkish media, would reportedly remove the player's name from consideration.

According to Fanatik, Beşiktaş is renewing its efforts to sign Nicolas Raskin from Glasgow Rangers. President Serdal Adalı has placed the player at the top of the transfer list. Beşiktaş has moved again for the Belgian midfielder, who was also on their agenda in the summer but whose transfer did not materialize. It has been claimed that Raskin is open to moving to Istanbul and that his agent is in contact with the Beşiktaş management. The Beşiktaş management plans to use the positive relations it has established with Glasgow Rangers as an advantage in negotiations. President Adalı is expected to meet with a Glasgow representative to finalize the transfer shortly.

In the last days of the transfer window, Belgian midfielder Nicolas Raskin was approached by two top Turkish clubs, Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe, but the player rejected their advances. A transfer to Turkey was not something Raskin was interested in. While there had been interest from Premier League clubs West Ham and Wolves, journalist Sacha Tavolieri reported that an official bid for the 24-year-old never materialized. Raskin's contract runs until May 2027, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €10 million.
