OLD FIRM TRANSFER WAR: Celtic Join Rangers in Race for £6.5m Striker as Hoops Make “Informed” Request

Celtic have officially joined Rangers in the race for a £6.5m-rated striker, setting the stage for a full-blown Old Firm transfer battle as the list of suitors continues to grow.
The Hoops have now reportedly made an “informed” approach — a clear sign they want to be kept fully updated on developments surrounding the player, just as Rangers have already done, with interest now reaching boiling point.
⚔️ OLD FIRM TENSION RISES
Rangers had been strongly linked with the forward first, with reports suggesting the Ibrox side had already made their intentions clear by asking to be notified if any concrete offers arrive.
But now Celtic have stepped in — and that changes everything.
This is no longer just a transfer chase…
It’s now a direct Old Firm contest.
And with both Glasgow giants watching closely, the club holding the player could soon find themselves in the middle of a serious bidding war.
💰 £6.5m PRICE TAG — AND IT’S ONLY GOING UP
The forward’s valuation has been placed at around £6.5m, but insiders believe that figure could rise if multiple clubs push at the same time.
With interest also building from England — where several clubs are monitoring the situation — the pressure is growing quickly, and any January move would likely require a major offer to convince his club to sell.
