Attributed to original sourceFrosinone have turned down the Rangers offer for winger Fares Ghedjemis worth €10m, claim Sky Sport, which was higher than the one made by Celtic.
The Algeria international had already been heavily linked with a potential move to Scotland in January, but he and the Italian club had rejected the move to push for promotion from Serie B.
That was achieved and now the Canarini are preparing for the new season in Serie A, with his transfer value having doubled.

According to Sky Sport Italia and Sky Sports Scotland , Celtic had proposed €7m over the weekend, and Rangers went better with a €10m offer.
However, neither will be sufficient, as the asking price has climbed to €15-20m , especially after Ghedjemis impressed with Algiera at the World Cup.
The right-sided winger turns 24 next month and last season helped Frosinone to promotion with 15 goals and three assists in 37 Serie B appearances.

What happened
Serie B side Frosinone have turned down approaches from both Rangers and Celtic for their player Ghedjemis, pricing him in the €15-20m range. The rejection signals Frosinone's strong negotiating position and intent to retain the player unless their valuation is met. Both Scottish clubs remain interested but will need to reassess their offers to meet the Italian club's demands.
Chance analysis
Frosinone's firm €15-20m valuation and rejection of bids from two prominent Scottish clubs demonstrates strong selling leverage, likely based on the player's importance to their squad. For Rangers and Celtic, this represents a potential squad reinforcement that may not materialize, pushing them toward alternative targets. The story highlights the growing financial gap and transfer dynamics between Serie B clubs and top Scottish Premiership sides.
Ghedjemis is likely to remain at Frosinone unless a club meets the €15-20m asking price, while Rangers and Celtic may need to pursue alternative transfer targets.
Monitor whether Rangers or Celtic raise their bids above €15m, as Ghedjemis availability could impact their squad depth for upcoming fixtures.
