The recent rumours linking Tunisian international Hannibal Mejbri to Celtic should be approached with caution by fans.

While there is some speculation about Celtic’s interest, it seems more likely that these rumours could be serving other purposes rather than reflecting a genuine pursuit by the club.

Currently, it appears that Rangers are the Scottish club more actively involved in discussions about Hannibal, having reportedly been in advanced talks about a loan move with an option to buy. However, Rangers are hesitant about meeting the £7 million valuation set by his current club. [SunSport/TeamTalk]

This potential transfer just doesn’t seem like something that Rodgers would be keen on. He’s had a few loan spells and spent the latter half of last season in pain with Sevilla, where he failed to score or assist in just his six appearances. This performance hardly sets him apart as a compelling target for a club like Celtic, who are looking for players who can immediately strengthen their squad.

Fans should perhaps keep an eye on the situation but temper their expectations unless concrete developments suggest Celtic’s genuine interest. This scenario might change if there were a departure from Celtic’s current squad, like Matt O’Riley, which could potentially alter their transfer targets.
