Rangers might be about to learn the harsh economics of developing talent in the Scottish Premiership. Atalanta, the perennial Serie A overachievers, have made initial inquiries about midfielder Thelo Aasgaard, according to Italian reports from late June 2026.
The 24-year-old Norwegian international signed a four-year deal at Ibrox just last summer. Now, barely 12 months into that contract, one of Europe’s most respected talent-spotting operations wants to take him to Bergamo.
The Atalanta connection
In this case, the line between Rangers and Atalanta was already open. The two clubs had recently completed a loan arrangement for defender Ben Godfrey, with the Italian side sending him north to Glasgow. The inquiries about Aasgaard’s availability reportedly came through communications already established via the Godfrey loan.
No formal bid has been submitted. No public comments from Aasgaard or his representatives have surfaced.
