Rangers and Celtic are facing competition from Leeds United for a Premier League player who is rumored to be leaving.
Amidst persistent reports about Rangers and Celtic, the star is reportedly coveted by Leeds United.
Leeds United is expected to join Rangers and Celtic in their pursuit of a Premier League player.
This summer, rumors about Hannibal Mejbri have been circulating throughout Glasgow. The Manchester United player, who has lost favour under Erik ten Hag despite traveling to America for the preseason, was reportedly a target for Philippe Clement’s team at Ibrox. Subsequently, word spread that Celtic is supposedly considering the midfield player as well.
According to the Daily Express, Mejbri has been granted permission to depart Old Trafford following his season-long loan to Sevilla in La Liga. The international player from Tunisia is “set to depart amid interest from the Championship and Scotland,” according to reports. Burnley and Leeds United are the clubs in the English second division that are allegedly aiming for promotion this season.Man Utd is “open to hearing from offers,” whether they are temporary or long-term. Mejbri has one year remaining on his contract and has worked for Birmingham City in the EFL. Matt O’Riley is almost certain to join Brighton in the Premier League, so Celtic will need a midfield player.Leicester City has also been connected to Reo Hatate. The permanent conversion of Mohamed Diomande’s loan to Rangers and the arrival of Connor Barron from Aberdeen are the new midfield signings. However, with Ryan Jack and John Lundstram leaving this summer, they have lost experience.
