Glasgow's Rangers found themselves in a predicament after Frosinone rejected their £8 million bid for 23-year-old Algerian footballer Farès Ghedjemis. This setback comes after Celtic also turned down the same offer for the same player, intensifying the Old Firm transfer battle. Frosinone's rejection was based on the fact that they have strong reasons to hold out for a higher price due to their promotion to Serie A. The interest from both Glasgow clubs is understandable, given Ghedjemis' impressive 2025/26 season, during which he scored 15 goals and provided three assists in 37 Serie B appearances.
He also earned a spot in Algeria's World Cup squad. However, Frosinone still expects a much larger fee, potentially between €15 million and €20 million, which is significantly higher than Rangers' offer. The T4O take suggests that Rangers should not pay over the odds for Ghedjemis. His skills are valuable, but paying such a high price would create financial difficulties elsewhere in the squad.
Instead, the club could allocate the £8 million across several positions to improve the team more effectively.
