BREAKING: Celtic Accept €18M Offer from Barcelona for Star Left-Back

June 3, 2025 — Glasgow, Scotland

In a surprising twist to the summer transfer window, sources close to the negotiation table have revealed that Celtic FC have accepted FC Barcelona’s first offer for their highly-rated left-back, Greg Taylor.

According to insider reports, the Catalan giants submitted an initial bid believed to be in the region of €18 million with add-ons, and Celtic, impressed by the structure and speed of the approach, have given the green light to proceed with personal terms.

Barcelona, in the market for a long-term replacement at left-back following Marcos Alonso’s departure and Jordi Alba’s earlier exit, have identified Taylor as a technically sound and tactically disciplined fullback—traits highly valued by new manager Hansi Flick.

A medical is reportedly being lined up for later this week, with personal terms expected to be a formality. Taylor, 27, has made over 150 appearances for Celtic and played a key role in their recent domestic dominance.

While Celtic fans may be stunned by the swift nature of the deal, insiders at Parkhead suggest the club is already lining up a replacement, with Lech Poznań’s Barry Douglas and AZ Alkmaar’s Mees de Wit on the shortlist.

Neither club has officially confirmed the agreement, but an announcement could be imminent.
