What comes next?
Rangers will have to act fast if they want to secure the signature of Fares Ghedjemis. The 23-year-old has been linked with a move to Scotland, but it seems that Celtic and Rangers will have to meet the €15m demand of Frosinone to secure his signature.
Rangers are currently 9th in the Premiership, 1 point behind Kilmarnock, with a goal difference of -1. They have scored 2 goals and conceded 3 this season. Their next fixture is against Kilmarnock on December 26th.
Our take
The Italian press had been certain that Frosinone's demand for Ghedjemis stands at €15m right now. The offers from Celtic and Rangers were much lower and Stripe's comments will not make things easy. There is a rising possibility of him staying with them and playing in Serie A. This will escalate his value and it could rise well above €15m. This will attract major clubs in Italy and beyond. So if Celtic and Rangers still want the 23-year-old, they should act fast.
