Celtic’s interest in Hibernian midfielder Miguel Chaiwa continues, though the clubs remain divided on valuation. While the Scottish champions are prepared to offer £5m for the 22-year-old Zambian international, they are currently unwilling to match Hibs’ £7m asking price. Meanwhile, Celtic are planning a follow-up bid for Sandefjord defender Zinedin Smajlovic following the rejection of their initial £3.5m offer. In other developments, Kelechi Iheanacho’s potential contract extension has lapsed, leaving the striker training independently in Nigeria.
Elsewhere in Scotland, Rangers are exploring a potential goalkeeper exchange involving Jack and Hull City’s Ivor Pandur. Real Betis has also emerged as a suitor for Rangers midfielder Nicolas Raskin as they seek to replace Dani Ceballos. Aberdeen appears near finalizing a move for FUS Rabat’s 23-year-old forward Ayoub Mouloua. Amid these shifts, former Celtic forward Chris Sutton has voiced significant frustration regarding the club’s current lack of transfer progress.
