Rangers and West Ham contact on the way for January transfers

Beşiktaş are preparing to approach Rangers and West Ham United to pursue permanent moves for midfielder Nicolas Raskin and defender Konstantinos Mavropanos in the upcoming January window. The Turkish side is planning a fourth bid for Raskin after three prior failed attempts, including a summer move that collapsed late. Rangers manager Derek McInnes risks losing the Belgian midfielder, as the Scottish club are reportedly open to a sale with discussions centering around a €15m fee.

Simultaneously, Beşiktaş director Eduard Graf monitored Mavropanos during Greece's match against Germany ahead of an inquiry into the terms needed for a deal. However, the 28-year-old defender is under contract until 2028, and West Ham manager Nuno Espírito Santo is reportedly considered unlikely to authorize his departure mid-season.
