Celtic have responded swiftly after seeing their initial £5 million bid for Auston Trusty rejected by Sheffield United.
The Scottish champions has now returned with an improved offer for the American centre-back as they intensify efforts to secure his signature before Friday’s transfer deadline according to journalist Peter O’Rourke.
While the exact details of the new bid remain unclear, the report indicates that the Hoops are serious about bringing Trusty to Parkhead and are prepared to raise their offer to meet Sheffield United’s demands. The clock is ticking with the deadline fast approaching, and Celtic are pushing hard to get the deal over the line.

With only days remaining until the transfer window closes, Celtic are expected to continue negotiations on several fronts. The club is under pressure to finalise their transfer business by fans who are upset it’s taken until now for the club to get serious on deals.
Right now Liam Scales is the man who is parenting CCV, but that could change should Celtic manage to get this business done. Gustaf Lagerbielke was sent out on loan this week to FC Twente, and Mail Nawrocki may also leave before the window closes.
