PSV Reject Rangers' Improved Bid for Driouech as Burnley and Celta Vigo Join Race

2 hours ago·2 min

PSV Eindhoven have turned down an improved £6 million offer from Rangers for winger Couhaib Driouech, with the Dutch club holding firm on their valuation of the 24-year-old. The rejection has opened the door to new suitors, with Burnley and Celta Vigo both now in contention for the Moroccan's signature, though talks remain at an early stage.

According to journalist Mounir Boualin, Driouech holds a slight preference for a move to Celta Vigo over the other interested clubs after the Spanish side entered the running.

Monaco target Ghedjemis after Frosinone reject multiple bids

Monaco have identified Frosinone winger Fares Ghedjemis as their top priority for the right flank. The French club are preparing an improved offer for the 23-year-old Algeria international after an initial bid of £6 million, plus £1.7 million in bonuses, was turned away by Frosinone. The Italian club also rebuffed £8.6 million bids from both Celtic and Rangers for the same player, according to L'Equipe.

Celtic close in on Haissem Hassan despite visa complications

Egypt winger Haissem Hassan is edging closer to a move to Celtic, though visa complications are causing delays. The 24-year-old has been left out of Real Oviedo's pre-season squad for their friendly against Le Havre, with an agreement already in place for him to join Celtic on a contract running until 2030. Celtic submitted a £9 million bid for Hassan, while Real Oviedo stand to earn an additional £1.3 million should the club reach the Champions League proper.

Real Oviedo head coach Julian Calero has confirmed the Spanish club will not obstruct Hassan's departure, clearing the way for the deal to be finalised once his visa situation is resolved.

More Celtic transfer activity

Celtic are reported to be stepping up their interest in Heart of Midlothian forward Claudio Braga, with the 26-year-old also attracting attention from clubs abroad.

West Ham United manager Nuno Espirito Santo declined to address speculation linking the London club with Celtic midfielder Arne Engels, with reports suggesting the relegated side have not yet matched Celtic's £25 million-plus asking price.

Bolton Wanderers manager Steven Schumacher has admitted he is eager to re-sign Celtic striker Johnny Kenny on a permanent basis following last season's loan spell, but acknowledged that financial constraints may prevent a deal for the 23-year-old.

Meanwhile, Celtic have made no approach to Newcastle United or goalkeeper Nick Pope, with any such move described as beyond the Scottish champions' budget for a backup option. Reports connecting Celtic to 23-year-old Brondby midfielder Benjamin Tahirovic have also been denied.

Adams to stay at Torino

Torino president Urbano Cairo has moved to quell speculation over the future of Scotland striker Che Adams, insisting the Serie A club have no plans to sell him this summer despite links to Venezia and Championship sides.

Finally, Dunfermline Athletic co-owners James Bord and Evan Sofer have been named as partners in Sparta Capital's acquisition of Bordeaux, the historic French club having suffered relegation to the sixth tier of French football.
