Clubs have ‘already moved’ in on January move for Ntcham

Olivier Ntcham is the subject of growing interest from Europe ahead of the January transfer window.

Reports earlier on Tuesday claimed AS Roma were lining up a January move for the Frenchman after he impressed them during the famous 2-1 win over Lazio.

That was later backed up by Sport Witness, who reported that TuttoMercatoWeb claim that clubs have ‘already moved’ in on trying to sign the midfielder in January, with Roma once again named.

Valencia and Sporting Lisbon have also been credited with showing an interest in Ntcham, but the report suggests all three clubs could be put off by Celtic’s valuation which is yet to be revealed.

If last summer’s valuation is anything to go by, then Celtic will likely demand a fee in the region of £15million for Ntcham.

The likes of Marseille and FC Porto were said to be set that price during the summer window, but neither side met the valuation.

Roma and Valencia are likely to be able to reach that figure but it may prove too much for Sporting, unless they receive a large sum for star man Bruno Fernandes.
