Bruma is being linked with a move from Wolfsburg to Celtic.
Celtic are reportedly planning a £7million move for Wolfsburg defender Jeffrey Bruma, who worked under Brendan Rodgers during the Celtic boss’ time at Chelsea – and some Hoops fans reacted excitedly.
German newspaper Bild claim Celtic are weighing up the seven-figure offer for the 26-year-old Netherlands international, with the Hoops desperate to sign a centre-back.
The club are expected to sell Dedryck Boyata before August 31’s deadline, after the Belgium World Cup star angered many fans by claiming he was injured for Celtic’s trip to AEK Athens. Rodgers confirmed he was fit after the match.
It is believed Wolfsburg are unwilling to sell Bruma for £7million, but if the former Chelsea, PSV Eindhoven and Hamburger SV powerhouse wants to leave, then Wolfsburg will accept any offers tabled at that figure.
Celtic are seemingly the only club interested in Bruma, and his experience in Europe and two Dutch titles would fit right at home in a Hoops side that are expected to win the Scottish Premiership and do well in the Europa League.
Some Celtic fans have reacted to the news that their club are interested in signing the powerful centre-back, with many becoming disillusioned with the constant mistakes made by their current central defenders.
