The report says Raskin has been in contact with outgoing boss Danny Rohl but has had no conversation with McInnes since the managerial switch.
That lack of contact is notable, though it does not necessarily point to a problem. Raskin is currently with Belgium, while McInnes is beginning to assess his squad and plan for the new season. Their first discussion could become an important moment in deciding how the midfielder fits into the next Rangers side.
A new manager can change a player’s role, responsibilities and value to the team. For Raskin, that conversation has yet to happen.
Raskin has reportedly played down the immediate importance of transfer speculation, leaving discussions to his representatives while he focuses on Belgium. Italian reports have linked him with Atalanta, who are believed to be considering midfield options.
There is no confirmed agreement or formal move. However, Rangers may face a decision if interest develops into a firm approach. With Raskin still under contract, the club can control the situation-but the midfielder’s performances on the international stage could influence how that decision is viewed.
A strong World Cup campaign would naturally raise his profile, even if that is not currently his stated concern.
Raskin appeared as a second-half substitute in Belgium’s draw with Egypt and is expected to remain involved as the tournament continues. The next fixture against Iran offers another opportunity to make an impression.
For now, the order of business is clear: international football first, Rangers and Atalanta later. Whether Raskin speaks with McInnes before Belgium’s campaign moves on-and whether Atalanta turn reported interest into action-will shape the next chapter of his summer.
