Celtic reportedly have just a matter of days to tie up a deal for Paris Saint-Germain’s Odsonne Edouard.
According to The Scottish Sun, Celtic have been given just a matter of days to tie up a £10million deal for Paris Saint-Germain striker Odsonne Edouard.
The Bhoys clinched a remarkable second-straight domestic treble with their Scottish Cup final win over Motherwell on Saturday afternoon, putting manager Brendan Rodgers in the history books.
Celtic’s dominance of Scottish football continues, but new signings this summer could aid Rodgers’ European hopes, and one deal appears to be a priority over anything else.
Loanee Odsonne Edouard is wanted on a permanent deal from Paris Saint-Germain, but The Scottish Sun now report that Celtic only have until May 31st – next Thursday – to secure a permanent move.
It’s claimed that a £10million deal – which would be a club-record fee for Celtic – is being worked on after talks over the weekend with the player’s agent, but if a deal isn’t done by May 31st, Edouard will be on the open market.
Edouard, 20, joined Celtic on loan from PSG back on deadline day in August 2017, and was seen as a talented young forward who could play up front or out wide, offering depth to Rodgers’ options.
However, Edouard has impressed 11 goals in 29 appearances this season, including three in two games against Rangers, and Celtic will hope to tie up a blockbuster deal for the forward in the next 10 days.
