TWO Clubs Table Bids As Celtic Face Major Battle To Sign 11 Cap International Striker

TWO Clubs Table Bids As Celtic Face Major Battle To Sign 11 Cap International Striker

Ligue One club Lens and Qatari side Al-Duhail have both made offers for Ferencvaros striker Ryan Mmaee, according to DM Sport.

The Moroccan, who has 11 caps for his country, has also been linked with Celtic in recent weeks but it appears the Hoops will have a fight on their hands to secure the player’s services:

The Athletic‘s Celtic correspondent Paul Devlin confirmed back in May that the Scottish champions are “really keen” on Mmaee so you would expect them to challenge Lens and Al-Duhail with an offer of their own.

Celtic have already spent a considerable sum on bringing Jota and Cameron Carter-Vickers back to the club on permanent deals, but the security of qualifying for the Champions League group stages means they can release the purse strings somewhat.

Ferencvaros sporting director Tamas Hajnal spoke about Mmaee’s future recently, stating he was confident of keeping the 24-year-old at the Hungarian club beyond the summer. Considering the amount of interest that is being shown in the forward, though, that seems unlikely.
