Celtic Transfer News: Kristoffer Ajer offer rejected and French interest
Ajer unhappy after offers were rejected
The rejection of offers from newcomers to the Premier League and the Bundesliga team has left Ajer unhappy, according to the report from .. The Norwegian has been eager to leave the club for some time and there has been an agreement in the place you can go if you get a suitable offer.
Celtic really only has this window left to get their money’s worth for Ajer as he only has one year left on his contract. The prospect of playing in the Premier League would be interesting for the 23-year-old, but it would mean giving up European football, something that both staying at Celtic and going to Bayer Leverkusen would offer him.
According to Norwegian publication TV2, Celtic are demanding around £ 20 million for Ajer, who could also be prepared to execute his contract and seek a new club next year as a free agent.
Other reports claim that Celtic have already started the process of bringing in Ajer’s replacement. Fabrizio Romano reported earlier this week that the club had made an offer for Rubin Kazan’s Swedish center-back Carl Starfelt, which was thought to be around 4.23 million pounds.
Interest in Brandon Soppy
Celtic are also reportedly interested in signing left-back Brandon Soppy from Rennes. Fabrizio Romano says they have already started talks with the Ligue 1 club about a deal for the 19-year-old, but there are also a lot of French teams in the running.
The teenager made his breakthrough for the team last season, making a total of nine Ligue 1 appearances, plus two in the Champions League and three in the UEFA Youth League.
