Carlos Forbs seals transfer amid Celtic & Rangers mystery

Carlos Forbs has sealed his move from Ajax to Club Brugge. 

The transfer comes just days after he was linked with a switch to Scotland.

We told you how mystery surrounding Celtic and Rangers shrouded the player's future. 

This centered around claims by transfer guru Fabrizio Romano that there was serious interest in the Portuguese talent from Scotland, as well as England and Italy.

Romano wrote on X: "Carlos Forbs is set to join Club Brugge from Ajax, here we go! Deal done for €8.5m fee.

"The player is traveling to Belgium tonight ahead of his medical tomorrow.

"Forbs opted for the Brugge project over offers from England, Italy and Scotland."

Now, he has sealed his move from the Netherlands to Belgium for a fee of around £7.4m.

Of the two Glasgow teams, it was likely Celtic who were keen on the former Wolves man. 

The Hoops were previously linked with Forbs back in the summer of 2023, during Brendan Rodgers' first few months back in Glasgow.
