Standard Liege have reportedly moved their interest in Mory Gbane to the next stage, with formal discussions said to be underway over a possible deal for the Stade de Reims midfielder. The Ivory Coast player is also being linked with Celtic, who are understood to be keeping a close watch on developments.
Gbane’s situation appears to be attracting attention as Reims prepare for changes to their squad. With the French club expected to listen to offers for some players, the midfielder has emerged as one of the names being followed in the market.
For Standard Liege, entering negotiations suggests a more concrete push to secure the 24-year-old ahead of rival interest. Celtic, meanwhile, remain in the picture as a club monitoring whether the conditions of a transfer become favorable in the coming weeks.
At this stage, the strongest reported movement is from Belgium, where Standard Liege are said to be in direct talks. Celtic’s interest has not disappeared, but any next step may depend on how quickly Reims decide on sales and whether another club can agree terms first.
