Celtic have had a transfer bid for Fares Ghedjemis rejected by Frosinone, with the Italian club holding out for a better offer as a bidding war for the forward heats up.
Celtic's Offer Turned Down
The Scottish champions made a formal approach for Ghedjemis in recent days, but Frosinone swiftly knocked it back. The Serie B side are believed to be demanding a higher fee, aware that interest in the 22-year-old is growing beyond Celtic alone.
Ghedjemis, who came through Frosinone's youth system, has been a standout performer this season. His pace and dribbling have attracted attention from several clubs across Europe, and the rejection of Celtic's bid signals that Frosinone are prepared to play hardball.
Growing Interest in Ghedjemis
While Celtic were the first to make a concrete offer, they are not the only suitors. The bidding war is now intensifying, with multiple clubs monitoring the situation. Frosinone are likely to wait for the best financial package before letting their prized asset leave.
For Celtic, the rejection is a setback but not a surprise. The club has been tracking Ghedjemis for months and sees him as a long-term investment. However, with competition mounting, they may need to return with an improved bid or risk losing out entirely.
Celtic's Next Move
Brendan Rodgers' side are still in the market for attacking reinforcements, and Ghedjemis remains a target. The transfer window is open until the end of the month, giving Celtic time to negotiate. But Frosinone's stance suggests they will not sell cheaply.
The player himself is reportedly keen on a move, though no formal request has been made. For now, the ball is in Celtic's court: match the asking price or watch another club swoop in.
