Celtic transfer target Jakob Breum has been left out of the squad for Go Ahead Eagles’ Eredivisie opener against Fortuna Sittard.
The Danish winger was the subject of a £1.5million bid from Brendan Rodgers’ side earlier this summer that was quickly rejected by the Dutch outfit who have stated that they won’t sell the player for any less than £5million.
Reports suggests that the Dutch outfit are standing firm on their valuation of the player because 25 per cent of his next transfer fee will be awarded to Breum’s former club Odense, having inserted a sell-on clause into the Dane’s switch to the Netherlands two years ago.
Breum started in last weekend’s 2-1 defeat to PSV Eindhoven in the Johan Cruyff Shield but will not be a part of the travelling party to face Fortuna away from home on Friday night.
However, De Stentor report that the player’s absence is not related to his future and that Breum has missed out after picking up a knock against PSV.
The player himself recently hinted that he could move on from Go Ahead before the window slams shut on September 1.
Speaking to ESPN, he said: “Time will tell.
“There’s still one month left, but as long as I’m here, I’ll do my best. It’s a boring answer, but that’s the way it is. Now that important players have left, other players have to step up.”
Meanwhile, Napoli forward Giuseppe Ambrosino is reportedly closing in on a loan move to Serie A newboys Cremonese.
The 21-year-old had emerged as a potential target for the Hoops after catching the eye for Italy at the U21 European Championships.
Ambrosino is expected to be moved on by Antonio Conte’s team and Corriere del Mezzogiorno (via calcionapoli1926.it) claim that Napoli will meet with Cremonese officials today in order to thrash out a loan deal with an option to buy.
