In what promises to be a significant boost to their defensive ranks, Celtic is on the verge of securing the services of talented centre-back Maik Nawrocki from Legia Warsaw. The move comes as Brendan Rodgers, expressed his desire for bolstering the backline ahead of the upcoming season.
According to Polish journalist Sebastian Staszewski, the deal is valued at £4.3 million, to be paid in two installments, highlighting Celtic’s keenness to acquire the Polish defender.
Celtic weren’t the only ones in the running for the defender, as interest from clubs in Germany, Italy, Belgium, and Turkey surfaced during the transfer process. However, it appears that the allure of joining Celtic, coupled with the backing of Brendan Rodgers, has swayed Maik towards the Scottish club.
Celtic’s offer was met with a positive response from Legia Warsaw, who negotiated a clause entitling them to 15% of any future transfer fee involving Nawrocki – that’s 15% of ANY fee and not just the profit. This showcases the potential that the young defender holds, hinting at Celtic’s vision of developing him into a stalwart for both club and country.
The announcement of this move is imminent, with sources suggesting that it is likely to be made within the next 48 hours. Hoops fans can look forward to an official confirmation of this exciting addition to their squad.
As the deal nears its final stages, preparations for the upcoming season are well underway for Celtic FC. The players are set to return from Japan and will commence training at Lennoxtown this week. Their hard work will culminate in a friendly against Wolves in Dublin at the Aviva Stadium.
