Celtic reportedly want Hibernian’s John McGinn, while Moussa Dembele is claimed to be on the radar of Marseille.

Celtic will not increase their offer for Hibernian midfielder John McGinn, according to The Daily Record.

It has been reported that Celtic have decided not to pay more than £2 million for McGinn.

Hibernian, though, are claimed to want £3m to sell the 23-year-old Scotland international in the summer transfer window.

Strong stance

If Hibernian refuse to lower their demands, then Celtic will have no option but to increase their offer.

However, with McGinn’s current contract running out at the end of the 2018-19 campaign, Hibs could loss the Scotland international midfield on a free next summer.

Moussa Dembele stance

According to The Daily Record (Transfer Live blog, 16:19pm, Saturday, July 28, 2018), Celtic striker Moussa Dembele is back among the transfer targets for Marseille.

With the French club failing to sign Mario Balotelli, the Ligue 1 outfit are back in the hunt for Dembele, according to the report.

The report has also claimed that it will take a monster offer from Marseille to convince the Hoops to sell the striker.

Celtic stay

Dembele is one of the best young strikers in Europe, and it would be wise of Celtic to keep hold of the Frenchman for the 2018-19 campaign.

True, every player has his price, but the 22-year-old will be important for Celtic this season, as they aim to win the domestic treble for the third season in a row and also progress to the group stage of the Champions League.
