According to the Mirror, Celtic are interested in signing Burnley forward Robbie Brady this summer, and could even land him for nothing.

The 54-cap Republic of Ireland international’s contract at Turf Moor expires in June, and he is yet to agree on fresh terms with the Clarets.

If further contract discussions fail, then the 29-year-old will be a free agent in the summer.

Neil Lennon is keen to strengthen his squad, and has identified the Dublin-born attacker as a key part of his future plans at Celtic Park.

If the Bhoys land the former Manchester United winger for nothing, it would be a sensational signing.

Burnley smashed their club-record transfer fee to bring him to Turf Moor back in January 2017, handing Norwich a substantial £13 million for his services.

Across spells in England with Manchester United, Hull, Norwich and Burnley, Brady has amassed 156 Premier League appearances.

In those outings, he has scored ten goals and assisted a further 13, while winning 43 of these games and suffering 81 defeats.

In terms of his wage demands, the Mirror do not mention anything about potential salary requests.

However, Spotrac believe Brady earns £35,000-a-week, so you would presume he’d ask for at least that amount if he were to join Celtic.
