Celtic Enhances Transfer Targets Amid Rangers’ Potential Departures
Celtic is intensifying its efforts to strengthen its midfield options as rivals Rangers prepare for potential player departures. The club plans to increase its pursuit of 22-year-old Torino midfielder Gvidas Gineitis following Tuesday’s Champions League play-off second leg against LASK.
In a significant move, Celtic is reportedly moving towards securing a £7 million deal for 21-year-old Bosnian World Cup star Ermin Mahmic from Slovan Liberec, regardless of the outcome of their Champions League match in Linz.
Additionally, Celtic has presented a £7.7 million offer for Frosinone winger Fares Ghedjemis, who is also attracting interest from Rangers, Monaco, and Besiktas.
On the other side, Rangers are facing initial inquiries from clubs in England, Italy, and Spain regarding midfielder Nico Raskin. The Belgium international, who has two years remaining on his contract, may leave if Rangers’ valuation is met.
Scottish FA’s chief football officer, Craig Mulholland, has emphasized the need for clubs to feature more homegrown players, aiming to generate significant revenue and improve the national team’s prospects.
In a separate development, Nicolas Kuhn has been placed on the transfer list by Como just a year after his £17 million transfer from Celtic, with reports indicating that clubs in Germany and Austria have expressed interest.
