Marseille plot move for rising Rangers star as Celtic hero is linked with big move back to former club
The latest transfer headlines from Celtic and Rangers
Scottish title hopefuls Celtic and Rangers are both facing battles to retain the services of some of their most talented players as they draw up transfer plans ahead of the 2025/26 season.
Celtic are targeting a fifth consecutive title defence under Brendan Rodgers and have already made a number of positive signings in Kieran Tierney from Arsenal, with Callum Osmand soon to follow from Fulham.
Meanwhile, Rangers are thought to be closing in on Josh Mulligan from Dundee to kickstart the Russell Martin and San Francisco 49ers revolution at Ibrox after a period of lacklustre results on the pitch.
Marseille target rising Rangers star
French heavyweights Marseille have emerged as strong contenders to sign Moroccan international Hamza Igamane from Rangers.
The 22-year-old arrived last summer as something of an unknown quantity from AS Far but ended up being one of the signings of the season, scoring 16 goals in 46 appearances across all competitions, including 12 in the league and four in Europe.
Igamane is blessed with electric speed, agility and a terrific eye for goal which is only expected to improve after a tremendous first season at Ibrox. He’s believed to be valued at around £20m by Rangers and Marseille are thought to be weighing up whether to meet the Light Blues’ valuation.
TEAMtalk say that Marseille have been in contact with Igamane’s entourage since this winter – making it clear that they have a strong interest in bringing him to the club.
Elsewhere, Italian side Lazio are also keen on Igamane as they look to bring in attacking reinforcements this summer, under now returned manager Maurizio Sarri.
Premier League duo Everton and West Ham are also believed to be keeping a close eye on proceedings.
