Celtic are set to intensify their search for midfield reinforcements, with a strong interest in Torino’s 22-year-old midfielder Gvidas Gineitis. The move is slated to gain momentum following the club’s crucial Champions League play-off second-leg clash away to LASK.
In parallel, Celtic are on the verge of sealing a £7 million deal for 21-year-old Bosnian international Ermin Mahmic from Slovan Liberec, a transaction expected to proceed regardless of the outcome of their European fixture in Linz. Additionally, the Scottish Premiership giants have tabled a £7.7 million offer for Frosinone winger Fares Ghedjemis, who is also attracting interest from Rangers, Monaco, and Besiktas.
Meanwhile, Rangers are facing mounting interest in their own squad, having received initial inquiries from clubs in England, Italy, and Spain regarding Belgian midfielder Nico Raskin. The club is prepared to entertain offers for the midfielder, who has two years remaining on his contract, provided their valuation is met.
On a broader national scale, Scottish FA chief football officer Craig Mulholland has emphasized the importance of prioritizing homegrown talent within Scottish clubs. This strategic shift aims to bolster domestic player development, drive significant revenue growth, and ultimately elevate the competitiveness of the national team.
