Leeds United and 49ers Enterprises are looking to make a big signing this summer, and Rangers’ midfielder Nicolas Raskin is now on their radar.
The Belgian star could be heading to Elland Road in a deal worth more than £20 million.
Leeds Focused on Promotion Battle
Leeds United are in a tough fight to get back to the Premier League. Daniel Farke’s men have just eight games left in the Championship, and the pressure is on.
Recent results haven’t helped, with just five points from their last four matches. Rivals Sheffield United and Burnley are closing in, making the race even tighter.
The team also has injury worries. Italian star Wilfried Gnonto picked up an ankle injury while playing for his country and had to return early.
He had been performing well in the number 10 role, replacing Brenden Aaronson in the last game. Leeds will hope he can recover quickly.
If Leeds do win promotion, the club is ready to spend big.
A deal is reportedly in place for former Leeds midfielder Kalvin Phillips, and Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher is also a target as a replacement for Illan Meslier.
Another name now linked with the club is Nicolas Raskin.
Leeds Want Rangers’ Star Raskin
Reports say Leeds United are looking to sign Rangers midfielder Nicolas Raskin this summer.
The 24-year-old Belgian has been playing well for the Scottish club, and his performances have caught the eye of several teams.
Leeds are not the only ones interested. Premier League clubs Aston Villa and Brentford are also keeping an eye on Raskin.
Teams from Germany and Italy are said to be monitoring the situation too.
With so much interest, Rangers are expected to ask for a big fee, with reports saying they want over £20 million for the midfielder.
Raskin Getting High Praise
Raskin has been impressing many people with his performances.
His teammate at Rangers, Cyriel Dessers, has praised him, saying, “He can go very far. In Serie A, I saw players in his position who are no better than him. He can make it in a top league.”
Rangers sporting director Nils Koppen has also called Raskin “unique,” showing how highly the club values him.
But if Leeds win promotion, the 49ers could approve a move to bring him to Elland Road.
Leeds fans will be hoping the club secures promotion soon, so they can see big signings like Raskin come through the door.
The summer transfer window could be a very exciting time for the Whites.
