Celtic told to pay €9.5m for attacking target

Celtic Football Club has been instructed to pay €9.5 million for the acquisition of Algerian winger Farès Ghedjemi. The player was reportedly mentioned by former Celtic manager Martin O'Neill as a potential summer signing to bolster the team's attacking prowess. According to transfer journalist Sebastian Vidal, Celtic has been asked to raise their offer for Ghedjemi by €2.5 million.

Current negotiations between Celtic and Frosinone, Ghedjemi's current club, are expected to conclude with the Scottish club meeting the increased valuation. However, the Italians remain steadfast in their stance on the player's price. In the meantime, Celtic has bolstered their squad by signing Camilo Duran and Kasper Høgh, who will join the side after the departure of Daizen Maeda and Kelechi Iheanacho.

The addition of Ghedjemi's pace to Celtic's wide areas was evident during the team's recent match against Dundee, signaling a need for fresh talent in the squad. With the UEFA Champions League double header against LASK looming, Celtic must expedite their transfer dealings to ensure a competitive performance on the field.
