Celtic boost in £8m chase as director admits club ‘want to’ sell this summer

Celtic boost in £8m chase as director admits club ‘want to’ sell this summer

A squad that is willing to openly accept the label of “selling club” is not one that comes along very often.

But Celtic are well aware that a buy-low, sell-high transfer approach is essentially required in order to prosper in a market where capital tends to pool below the border.

Not the sole path to achievement. However, it might be the most viable and optimal model at their disposal.

Celtic are also evidence that it can function really well.

Even though they lost players like Virgil van Dijk, Odsonne Edouard, Jota, Kristoffer Ajer,

Moussa Dembele, Jeremie Frimpong, and Kieran Tierney during that time,

the reigning Scottish Premiership champions have dominated the domestic scene.In the near future,

you also wouldn’t rule out Celtic making a sizable profit on players like Reo Hatate, Matt O’Riley, and company.

On the other hand, Adam Idah is a classic Hoops signing.

Young, insatiably driven, and full of football and money-making potential.

It was only in February that Idah turned 23.

It makes sense that Celtic wants him back after he scored nine goals in 19 appearances while on loan from Norwich City in January.

Celtic wants Adam Idah, a loanee from Norwich City, back in Glasgow.

HITC is aware that Brendan Rodgers’ team is attempting to close a deal for approximately £5 million.

Norwich is hoping for more like £8 million, so maybe both parties will have to make some concessions.

However, given that Norwich has completely embraced their “selling club” concept,

Celtic should consider sporting director Ben Knapper’s remarks to mean that

an agreement can be reached to acquire Idah.

even if it’s reasonably priced.

Knapper tells the Pink Un, “There’s always pressure on us here (to sell),

because that’s our model.” “We want to sell, and that’s also how we judge success, whether we have to or not.

Naturally, our goal is to assemble a team capable of winning games and advancing.

That’s what the goal will always be. In addition, though, we must strive to remain sustainable (and raise revenue from the sale of players).

So we forced ourselves to follow through on it. That’s not different from summer to summer.

Last week, Johannes Hoff Thorup, the coach of Norwich, declared that it would be “stupid” to allow Idah go without giving the Republic of Ireland international a trial run during the preseason.

So, Celtic fans may have to endure an uncomfortable wait while they try to find out what the future holds for the player who gave Rangers a last-minute victory in the Scottish Cup final at Hampden Park.

Knapper, meantime, acknowledges that Thorup’s demands will inform any decisions Norwich makes.

That’s kind of where we are right now, and there are a lot of talks going on.

However, it’s crucial that Johannes has the opportunity to assess the team and make his own judgment.

Additionally, we’ll be talking nonstop via the window,” the director continues.

That’s how we constantly operate together; we strive to push and challenge one another in this relationship. Our goal is to improve.

“As always, it would just be a discussion and trying to figure out what we believe is the best course of action for the organization.”

Oh Hyeon-Gyu’s own Celtic destiny may depend on Idah’s possible arrival.

After the window in January, the South Korean was hardly seen.

KRC Genk, a massive Belgian team, is apparently interested.

Het Belang van Limburg reports that Genk is apparently looking at other striker prospects as well,

but Celtic may be hesitant to decide until the confusion around Idah is resolved.
