Rangers and Celtic are reportedly keen on Rodrigo Riquelme.
Rangers and Celtic may not be focusing on transfers right now, but they continue to be linked with one young player over in Spain.
The global health crisis means football is on the shelf for a while now, with no action for a month and no end of the pandemic in sight.
The health and safety of all is paramount, whilst clubs need to manage their finances carefully whilst trying to figure out how to end the season.
The transfer window and when it begins isn’t exactly important, but Rangers and Celtic have been heavily linked with Atletico Madrid’s Rodrigo Riquelme lately.
Marca noted that both clubs want to sign Riquelme when his contract expires this summer, but Fanatik claimed that Fenerbahce also want the young attacker, comparing him to Antoine Griezmann.
Now, Estadio Deportivo claim that Real Betis, Real Madrid and Valencia are also keen, with La Razon adding Hoffenheim into the mix too.
This is now becoming a daunting race for Rangers and Celtic, with some massive clubs around Europe fighting to sign him; no great wonder given those Griezmann comparisons.
Atletico will be desperate to keep hold of the 20-year-old, who has already made his first-team debut under Diego Simeone and looks set for a big future.
Rangers and Celtic will both hope to offer first-team football to tempt him, but the competition appears to be growing more and more difficult by the day.
