Celtic have reportedly agreed a sensational €40 million deal for a French international player, making him the club’s second major signing of the summer.
The blockbuster move is said to have been negotiated after Celtic stepped up their pursuit of the highly rated French star, with the club eventually reaching an agreement with his current side.
The arrival would represent a major statement of ambition from the Scottish champions, who are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of another demanding campaign.
The French international is expected to bring significant experience and quality to Brendan Rodgers’ squad, with supporters already excited by the prospect of seeing him in the famous green and white.
Celtic’s second summer signing is also expected to attract considerable attention across Europe, given the reported €40 million price tag.
The club are now understood to be working on the final stages of the transfer, including personal terms and the player’s medical, before an official announcement.
If completed, it would become one of the biggest transfers in Celtic’s recent history — and a clear signal that the club are prepared to spend heavily to compete on the domestic and European stage.
