celtic Frosinone were interested in signing Fares Ghedjemis in January. Their decision to reject the move has now paid off.

sports witness Actively covered the approach of the hoops towards the end of the window. Celtic made an offer that seemed to have convinced the Serie B club, but the player himself decided to stay and help Frosinone return to the Italian top-flight.

That objective has now been achieved, with the Canarini having secured second place in Serie B.

Ghedjemis led the league by scoring 15 times. He has been particularly impressive in 2026, finding the net nine times. He scored in a 5–0 win over Mantova at the weekend, helping them achieve promotion.

Player was never keen on Celtic

Frosinone general manager Pietro Doronzo has spoken to Radio Sportiva about his club’s return to Serie A. The situation with Gedzemis was a typical subject, with the Italian appearing very grateful that the player stayed despite having the chance to leave.

He said- relayed by tuttomerkatoweb: : “In January, there was a real possibility that Gedzemis would leave: Celtic made a very important offer. President Stirpe, despite knowing how important he was to us, wanted to consult the boy, reiterating that Frosinone is not a prison.”

Doronzo explained the player’s stance and how that determination has now paid off.

“The player responded clearly: “I want to be here to win the championship. It was a risk to turn down that offer, but the President’s courage and the boy’s determination were rewarded. Today, Gedzemis has doubled in value, and his performance has been key to our ascent.

Celtic may no longer have a chance

Fares Gedzemis’ decision ended Celtic’s chance of signing the 23-year-old Algerian, who has now reached a new level.

Doronzo himself has confirmed that the winger’s value has doubled, which could now attract clubs from the Premier League and Serie A, with the chance to further impress at the World Cup.

Guedjamis is an Algerian international and looks set to continue his form in the summer. This would further damage Celtic’s chances of making a move for him, even if Frosinone were open to a sale.

Manchester City There is interest in Lille star Matias Fernandez Pardo after his impressive season in Ligue 1.

Tuttomercatoweb reports that Manchester City There could be competition from Inter Milan for the 21-year-old in the summer transfer window.

manchester city interest

Matias Fernandez Pard is having the best year of his career so far. He was named in the Ligue 1 Team of the Season thanks to eight goals and five assists and was also a regular in the Europa League.

The 21-year-old player is also being seriously considered by Spain, who want to pounce on him ahead of other countries.

Cesc Fabregas’ Como are interested in him and have been eyeing a deal for some time. His versatility to play as a winger, false nine or even as a second striker has made him a perfect fit for Fàbregas’ fluid style.

But he has also attracted the attention of big clubs. Manchester City, ‘always keen for talent’, already have him in their sights. Inter Milan are also aware of him as they look to strengthen after their title success.

There is no mention of any of those three parties doing anything other than watching the player’s performance at this time.

€30m valuation

There is also no mention of the asking price. Matias Fernandez Pardo cost Lille €11.5m in 2024 but is currently valued at €30m. His current deal also runs until 2029, so the French side are under no pressure on that front either.

Of course, €30m would be no big deal for Manchester City. This is a fee that they can spend without worrying too much. And they could be looking for a forward this summer if players like Omar Marmoush leave.

There is also Jack Grealish to consider. Fernandez Pardo could be an ideal additional player if he does not return as expected. For now, it appears he is just a name on the list to keep an eye on.

Earlier this week, sports witness A look at Inter Milan’s stance on Arsenal’s interest in Francesco Pio Esposito.

L’Interista was confident that the Italian giants were not upset by this, with Inter being confident that the player would not leave.

There was a suggestion that there was an unbreakable bond between the two sides, with Pio Esposito grateful to the Nerazzurri for his development. It seems he is keen to give all that back to his club.

More details are now emerging regarding Arsenal’s interest in the striker. It seems that the gunners are quite serious and had even conducted reconnaissance a few days ago.

Arsenal scouts watched Esposito on Saturday

Tuttosport – relayed by tuttomerkatowebIt is reported that a Gunners official was present at San Siro on Saturday. Inter beat Juventus 3–2 in a controversial match, but Pio Esposito scored with a brilliant header in the second half.

The goal helped the striker take his tally in all competitions to six, and he also assisted twice.

The newspaper believes that Pio Esposito has passed Arsenal’s test with flying colors. The London club has also been generally impressed, with Andrea Berta following the talent for years.

As a result, Arsenal’s interest is said to be increasing. Their task is unlikely to be easy, as Inter are preparing their own offensive.

Inter is preparing for a new contract

TuttoSport further reports on the Nerazzurri’s approach towards Pio Esposito’s renewal.

Club CEO Beppe Marotta and sporting director Piero Auslio are already laying the groundwork. The Italian currently earns just €1.1m and he could earn around €3m per season in his new deal.

Inter aim to keep Pio Esposito until 2031. This is seen as a move by Inter to deprive Arsenal of signing talent. The player is seen as the future leaders of the Serie A league, having performed reliably when Marcus Thuram had an unsuccessful performance this season.

There are indications that Pio Esposito is also keen to stay, which could make things more difficult for the Gunners.
