- Fares Ghedjemis Set to Snub Rangers Interest as Frosinone Push for Contract Renewal
According to an update by TransferFeed, Serie A side Frosinone are keen to renewing the contract of Fares Ghedjemis to put cold water in Rangers' interest in signing him.
The Old Firm clubs, Celtic and Rangers, sent offers to Frosinone, who were then looking to selling their players, including Ghedjemis. However, the Italian clubs rejected the Scottish pair's advances despite the transfer fees reaching close enough to their original asking price.

Frosinone's entire transfer strategy has changed as they head into the international break, by being in the top six of Serie A. They do not want to let go of their players, who have helped them reach this spot in the season, and undoubtedly, Ghedjemis has played an influential role in it. Last season, he scored 15 goals in 37 Serie B appearances to shoot the club into the Italian top flight.
Ghedjemis represented Algeria in the 2026 World Cup, and Frosinone has decided to keep their cards close to their chest without cashing in on them for an immediate profit. The Massimiliano Alvini-led side are working to find an agreement with the player to extend his stay at the club. Rangers have been pushing after getting rejected by Frosinone earlier, and it seems that the Algerian international is aware of this interest from Glasgow.
It will be game over in the Ghedjemis saga for Rangers and any other club interested in acquiring his services if he agrees to a contract renewal with Frosinone.
In other news, former Rangers striker Mark Hateley has suggested that the club sign Max Dowman from Arsenal on a loan deal in January. He cited the club's loan signing of Mikey Moore from Tottenham Hotspur last season as an example, suggesting a move for Dowman to aid his development.

The 16-year-old made history in the Premier League by being the youngest player ever to start in a match. He also broke the record for the youngest Premier League goalscorer by scoring in a 2-0 victory over Everton at 16 years and 73 days old. However, no progress has been made by Rangers on this front, as they are fully focused on what Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta decides in the coming days for the future of the prodigy.
It will not be an easy task for the Gers to sign, as rivals Celtic and several Championship clubs are gunning for his signature by providing him substantial game time.
