Credit: Imago, Frosinone Sat 28 March 2026 17:51, UK Fares Ghedjemis remains on Celtic‘s radar ahead of the summer transfer window but they could face difficulties getting a deal done despite his agent’s recent remarks.Ghedjemis has scored 12 goals in 31 Serie B games this season to fire Frosinone into promotion contention with six games left to play.Celtic wanted the Algerian international winger in the January window, but the Italian side priced them out of a deal and they moved for Joel Mvuka instead.As I revealed on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Transfer Insider podcast, the Hoops remain interested in Ghedjemis but may still face issues with having to pay a sizeable fee.Several new attackers are needed at Parkhead as Celtic draw up their transfer plans for the summer, and Ghedjemis’ agent has sparked speculation around a move once again. 🔄 Celtic Transfer Update 🔄 Breaking news on latest signings, departures, and contract news from the Parkhead boardroom. VISIT THE CELTIC TRANSFER HUB MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES Celtic ready to pounce as Fares Ghedjemis’ agent touts summer moveThe 23-year-old’s agent, Fabrizio Ferrari, recently insisted that a move away could be on the horizon, as he said: “The rumours about him in January?
He really wanted to finish the season with a promotion…with Frosinone then potentially monetising the operation in the summer.”They are clearly not ruling out a departure from the Italian side soon, but being in Serie A could change their plans, with Frosinone currently outside Serie B’s automatic promotion places on goal difference.Appearances31Goals12Assists3Chances created per 901.76Shots per 903.07Successful dribbles per 902.04Touches in the opponents box per 905.96Ghedjemis’ 2025-26 Serie B statsSpeaking on the Transfer Insider podcast, I explained: “(Ghedjemis) was a player that Celtic did look at in the January transfer window, but it wasn’t a deal they were able to get over the line.“They were priced out of it by Frosinone, (who will) be looking for big money to sell him in the summer. “They were looking for big money in January, which was out of Celtic’s price range, so again it is another difficult deal to do.“If they are in Serie A, there might be the possibility that the player will want to stay and play in Italy’s top flight as well.”Celtic could sign Julian Araujo permanently this summerThe Hoops do not even know who their manager will be next season, but their potential right-hand side looks like a strong one if moves for Ghedjemis and Araujo materialise this summer.Araujo has been a real hit among Celtic fans and players since his January loan move from Bournemouth, with consistently strong performances in his 13 appearances so far.They want to sign him permanently, and sources have told Football Insider that Bournemouth are open to selling Araujo this summer, while he is open to a transfer to Parkhead.Having a right flank of Araujo and Ghedjemis would surely stand the Hoops in good stead for next season, but both deals may only be possible if they qualify for the Champions League.
