Celtic are reportedly considering a move that could shatter the club’s existing transfer record, with the Scottish champions said to be weighing up a deal worth around £18.5 million for one of Europe’s most consistent assist providers.
The potential transfer would represent a major statement of intent as Brendan Rodgers looks to strengthen his squad ahead of the new season. With domestic ambitions and European competition both high on the agenda, Celtic are understood to be prioritising creativity in the final third.
According to reports, the club’s recruitment team has spent months monitoring the attacking midfielder, whose impressive assist record has attracted interest from several clubs across Europe. His vision, passing range and ability to unlock stubborn defences are believed to have made him one of Celtic’s top transfer targets.
While no formal agreement has been announced, discussions are believed to be progressing behind the scenes as Celtic explore the financial structure of a deal. Any move in the region of £18.5 million would surpass the club’s previous transfer record and signal a new level of ambition in the transfer market.
Supporters have responded positively to the speculation, with many viewing the reported pursuit as evidence that the club is determined to build a squad capable of competing both domestically and in Europe.
Neither Celtic nor the player’s current club has commented publicly on the reports, and negotiations are understood to remain ongoing. However, with the transfer window still open, fans will be watching closely to see whether the Scottish champions can complete what would be one of the biggest signings in the club’s history.
