If the price quoted by L’Equipe is believed to be true, then it leads us to believe that Celtic are seriously interested in the player.
That the Bhoys have made the first move shows the club rates the player highly. The offer looks tempting, and should be enough to seal the deal for the youngster.
Meanwhile, Celtic have completed their first signing of the summer, securing the signature of Jonny Hayes, who made the switch from Aberdeen on a £1.3m deal.
