A long-standing transfer target of Wolves is reportedly keen to leave his club.
Wolves have a huge amount to do this summer after suffering relegation to the Championship.
The club will have a major rebuild, which is already underway to the tune of two new signings and a new manager.
Who should Nathan Shi and Matt Jackson be looking to bring in at Wolves this summer? 🤔
Let's hear your suggestions – and they don't have to be any of the four players pictured!
Raul Jimenez, Kieran Trippier, Jordan James and Nikolas Polster are some of the early links ahead of the summer window opening…
Matt Doherty is the only player to leave so far, but there will no doubt be several others following him out of the club.
Wolves want to get promoted at the first time of asking and so, good recruitment will be absolutely vital this summer.
And potentially, Wolves may now have a chance to sign a player they have monitored for quite a while, as he is apparently intent on leaving.
Nico Raskin wants out of Rangers
TEAMtalk have reported today that Nico Raskin has made his intention clear to his club Rangers that he intends to leave this summer.
Raskin is currently on duty with Belgium at the World Cup, but he is the subject of heavy interest from clubs across Europe.
Rangers haven’t yet fielded any enquiries. But it may not be too long, and perhaps there will be a chance for Wolves to land the 25-year-old.
TEAMtalk’s report does mention the Old Gold as being one of a number of clubs who have been monitoring Raskin.
Wolves were linked with Raskin last summer, with it being claimed that Matt Hobbs had admired the star.
Hobbs now works for Crystal Palace, and it’s stated they have scouted Raskin. Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United Leeds United, Aston Villa and Brighton have also made checks.
From abroad, Porto, Real Betis, and Besiktas have also expressed interest.
But here’s where it gets potentially quite tricky for Wolves.
TEAMtalk say that Rangers would want around £20 million for Raskin this summer, which is a lot of money to pay anyway, but Wolves have just suffered relegation.
Whether they can, or would be willing, to pay that kind of money for one player is perhaps doubtful.
That said, Joao Gomes is set to leave and his sale could potentially help to fund a move.
But then, of course, there is the desire of the player to consider.
Raskin has long impressed in the Scottish Premiership. The Championship is somewhat similar in terms of standard, but Raskin may be wanting to play for a top-flight club.
But so far this summer Wolves have managed to sell their project to two high profile players in Kieran Trippier and Raul Jimenez, so maybe it’s not completely out of the question.
