Celtic have agreed a £3 million deal to sign Riley McGree from Charlotte FC in the January transfer window, according to The Daily Record.
The report has claimed that Celtic have agreed a fee of £3 million with Charlotte FC for McGree.
The 23-year-old Australia international attacking midfielder has agreed the move to the Hoops.
Celtic will now announce the signing of McGree, subject to international clearance, according to the report.
The Daily Record has added that Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou was a key figure in the transfer.
Postecoglou, who was appointed as the Celtic manager in the summer of 2021, knows McGree well, and, according to the report, ‘took a hands-on role in negotiation’.
Would Riley McGree make Celtic better?
In our view, McGree would be a good signing for Celtic and would make the Scottish Premiership giants a better team.
The 23-year-old is a very good attacking midfielder, and Postecoglou would not have signed him if he did not think that he would make his side better.
The Australia international spent the 2020-21 campaign on loan at Birmingham City in England.
McGree made eight starts and seven substitute appearances in the Championship for Birmingham last season.
The youngster scored one goal in those games.
The youngster had been on loan at Birmingham again this season.
McGree scored two goals and provided two assists in 10 Championship starts this campaign.
As reported by Herald Scotland, the attacking midfielder’s loan spell at Birmingham ended in December, and Celtic have now signed him.
