Celtic defender Kristoffer Ajer could be on the move this summer, but a move to Newcastle United seems hard to imagine.
The Magpies are battling against relegation and may face a tumultuous summer as Steve Bruce clings onto his job.
The Daily Mail now claim that Newcastle have already picked out a top summer target, as they want to sign Celtic defender Ajer.
Ajer, 22, has impressed at Celtic since moving to centre back under Brendan Rodgers, and a Premier League move may be on the cards.
The Norwegian would an exciting capture for Newcastle, possessing great height, speed, ability on the ball and potential – but there’s a problem.
Newcastle allegedly want to pay £8million for Ajer, whereas Celtic are seeking around £35million – a staggering £27million gap in valuations.
Celtic almost certainly won’t sell for £8million, and Bhoys fans have been taking to Twitter to react to Newcastle’s idea of a paltry bid.
Some are angry, believing that the planned £8million move is an insult and purely disrespectful because Ajer is worth so much more.
Others merely laughed off the idea, branding the price tag ‘ridiculous’ and ‘laughable’.
