According to French journalist Ignazio Genuardi, Brighton have approached FC Cluj with an opening bid.

Back in the summer, Romanian outlet GSP claimed that Celtic were very close to signing Omrani, although the deal eventually fell through.

READ CELTIC VERDICT
Omrani has scored 13 goals in all competitions for Cluj this season, which could be why he is attracting interest from a Premier League side. At the age of 26, he could be approaching the peak of his career and any team signing him could be getting the best years out of him. He is also versatile, as he is able to play on either wing and as a striker. This means that he can be utilised in a variety of ways, making him a valuable squad member.
However, it must be said that there have been no reports suggesting that Celtic will rival Brighton’s bid immediately, despite their former interest. This means that, as of right now, it appears unlikely that Omrani will be moving to Scotland to join Celtic before the end of the window.
