A report says Hull have identified Raskin as a priority target and believe a deal with Rangers could be possible. The midfielder’s energy, defensive discipline and ability to support attacks would offer the Tigers more than a headline signing; it would add intensity to a squad preparing for the demands of the Premier League.
Former Hull player Mick Brown highlighted the club’s willingness to reshape its squad, saying: “O Hull nunca teve receio de gastar dinheiro e renovar o elenco, mas precisa ver onde pode buscar esses jogadores”.
Promotion gives Hull an obvious selling point. The club may not match the spending power of England’s biggest teams, but regular Premier League football can still be a powerful attraction.
Rangers are reportedly open to a summer sale, despite Raskin having time remaining on his contract. His Belgium displays appear to have strengthened his market position, while Atalanta and Bologna have also been linked with the midfielder.
That competition could improve Rangers’ negotiating position. It also raises the possibility that the club will decide a substantial offer is too good to ignore, particularly if the player’s international profile continues to grow.
A departure would leave manager Derek McInnes with an important midfield gap. Lewis Ferguson of Bologna has been linked as one possible replacement, although any move appears likely to require serious investment. Connor Barron has also been mentioned in the wider discussion around a potential deal.
Former Rangers scout Neil Murray stressed the importance of character, saying: “Não são necessariamente superestrelas ou jogadores extravagantes. Personagens comprometidos também são importantes, porque mantêm alto o padrão no vestiário”.
For now, the key storyline is whether Hull turn reported confidence into a formal approach - and whether Rangers view Raskin as a player to build around or their next major sale.
