Celtic are currently in the process of completing the transfer of Mika Baur from Paderborn. The Scottish club has reached a personal agreement with the 22-year-old midfielder and is conducting negotiations with Paderborn to finalize the transfer price. The expected fee for this deal is about 4 million pounds. However, Celtic are facing competition from a number of other clubs in Europe, with Baur also receiving interest from the Bundesliga.
Mika Baur is said to prioritize joining Celtic, despite pursuit from other teams. Meanwhile, Ipswich Town have agreed a deal with Celtic to recruit Japanese striker Daizen Maeda, for a starting fee of £8 million, which can increase to £10 million with additional terms.
In addition, Celtic is also preparing for offers from the Premier League for Alistair Johnston, a 27-year-old Canadian right-back. The player has attracted the attention of Everton and has also been linked with Fulham.
Celtic has also inquired about the possibility of acquiring James Penrice, a 27-year-old Scottish left-back, currently playing for AEK Athens. However, information shows that the relationship between Celtic and James Penrice is still at the level of inquiry and no official proposal has been made.
Elsewhere, Bursaspor chairman Enes Çelik has revealed that Kelechi Iheanacho, the 29-year-old striker who refused to renew his contract with Celtic, will receive an annual salary of £1.2 million (equivalent to £23,000 per week) after choosing "projects over money" from elsewhere.
Finally, AC Milan have made a late bid for Troyes centre-back Sankhoun Diawara, aiming to beat Rangers in the race for the 20-year-old. Rangers hope Diawara will choose to join them for a chance to play officially instead of joining Milan's youth team.
What happens next
Celtic will continue to negotiate with Paderborn to complete the transfer of Mika Baur, while also preparing for the departure of Daizen Maeda to Ipswich Town. The team may face offers from the Premier League for Alistair Johnston, which could change their transfer plans in the near future.
