Motherwell have reportedly turned down a bid for their highly-rated young midfielder, Lennon Miller. According to Sky Sports, the Steelmen rejected a 2.5 million bid from Italian side- Udinese.
Celtic Interest Cools?
Celtic have long been linked with Miller, with the Scottish champions said to be keeping tabs on the talented youngster for some time.
However, a report from the Mailsports back in November suggested that Motherwell were looking for a figure of around 4 million for the midfielder. Since then, Celtic has gone quiet, potentially due to Motherwell’s firm stance on their asking price.
Miller, who has emerged as one of the most promising midfielders in Scotland, has been a standout performer for Motherwell this season, making a strong impression with his composure and maturity in the middle of the park despite his young age.
A Star in Demand
It remains unclear which club tabled the rejected £2.5 million bid, though several teams have reportedly been monitoring Miller’s development. Motherwell’s valuation of £4 million reflects their belief in his potential, as the 18-year-old continues to establish himself as a key player at Fir Park.
While Celtic have strengthened their midfield with significant investments in recent transfer windows, Miller remains a player with long-term potential who could fit their recruitment model. The Parkhead club have had a history of signing young Scottish talent over the years, most notably Scott Brown and Ryan Christie.
Whether Celtic reignite their interest or another club steps forward to meet Motherwell’s demands remains to be seen.
