Barcelona have reportedly joined the race for Leeds United-linked midfielder Nicolas Raskin on a free transfer, according to reports from Belgium, via Mundo Deportivo. Raskin is out of contract at Standard Liege in the summer and talks over a new deal have broken down.
Liege boss Ronny Deila confirmed earlier this week that Raskin would no longer 'play or train' with the club anymore, which could accelerate the possibility of him leaving in January. He told RTBF: “He will not play or train with us anymore. It’s a shame for everyone.
"But it’s a situation where there is no win-win. It got more political and the club had to make a decision. I spoke with Nico. He is disappointed on one side but he knew it could happen. The club did everything to keep him. I haven’t seen the offer, but I’ve heard about it. I don’t know if it’s a question of money or rather an opportunity for him to leave.”
