Celtic and Rangers Face Key Transfer Battles

Celtic's attempts to sign Denmark U21 midfielder Jakob Breum from Go Ahead Eagles have stalled, as the Dutch club rejected multiple offers, including a £3m bid, and insists on a valuation of at least £5m. Go Ahead Eagles' CEO stated only one of Breum or Oliver Antman will be sold this summer, affecting Rangers' interest in Antman. Celtic are also negotiating a loan for Manchester City defender Jahmai Simpson-Pusey and are interested in Liverpool's Stefan Bajcetic with a loan-to-buy option. Watford's Ryan Porteous is close to a move to LAFC, and Rangers' Ben Davies is nearing a transfer to Birmingham City. Hibernian's pursuit of Nectarios Triantis has been complicated by higher wage demands after Sunderland's promotion, while Hearts target Pierre Landry Kabore and Tomas Bent Magnusson. Celtic could benefit from a sell-on fee if Josip Juranovic moves to England.
