Rangers signing agreed barring final hurdle, why Celtic wont spend £20m, Ryan Porteous to Serie A – rumour mill

transaction has reportedly been “fully agreed,” according to Sky Sports, and the Diomande is simply awaiting the issuance of a work permit

before traveling to Glasgow to finalize the transfer. The Ivory Coast Under-23 international, who has played more than 100 games for the

Norwegian team, including in Europe, is reportedly going to cost Rangers £4.3 million. With Fabio Silva having already joined on loan from

Wolves, Diomande will be Rangers’ second new signing of the January window.

In anticipation of the potential that there won’t be any new arrivals during the last week of the transfer window, Celtic manager Brendan

Rodgers has prepared the team’s supporters. The Northern Irishman is still optimistic that targets may be signed before the deadline of

February 1st, but he also understands that in the worst case scenario, there won’t be any further additions to the roster beyond Rapid

Vienna’s recent £3 million signing, winger Nicolas Kuhn. In an effort to attract top players, Rodgers also clarified why Celtic does not spend

£20 million on a single acquisition. He went on, “The money is there, but that won’t happen.” “You are accepting the wages of a player

worth £20 million if you are bringing in that player. Sadly, that doesn’t work here. That is not where we are.

Ryan Porteous, a defender for Scotland, has been connected to a transfer to Udinese. Sky Sports reports that the Serie A team is thinking

about acquiring the 24-year-old center back from Watford, a sister club. Porteous reportedly paid around £450,000 to join the Hornets

from Hibs last season. Because of the sell-on clause that was added to his contract, Hibs would be entitled to 20% of any transfer.
