Celtic push for Ghedjemis deal - gossip

What the report says

BBC Sport Football reported that Celtic are pressing ahead with a move for Fares Ghedjemis, the 23-year-old Algeria winger currently at Frosinone. The Italian club are said to value him at 9.5m euros, and while president Maurizio Stirpe indicated Frosinone do not need to sell, he also suggested they are open to hearing offers. If completed, the deal would add another attacking option to Brendan Rodgers’ squad as the Scottish champions continue to monitor summer reinforcements.

The same report said Brentford could allow defender Benjamin Arthur, 20, to head to Celtic on another loan, which would strengthen the club’s defensive depth rather than create a permanent transfer outlay. BBC Sport presented these names as part of its regular transfer gossip round-up, so the updates should be treated as reported interest and not confirmed business.

The article also noted movement involving a former Celtic loanee: Marcelo Saracchi, the 28-year-old left-back who spent last season on loan from Boca Juniors, has reportedly joined Houston Dynamo. That is relevant for Celtic because Saracchi had been linked with a return to Glasgow, and his move elsewhere could narrow one possible option at left-back. More broadly, the bulletin reflects how Scottish clubs are still shaping squads during the window, with rumours, loans and price tags all in play.
