Celtic are reportedly close to parting ways with French midfielder Olivier Ntcham.

There have been reports and rumours surrounding the player’s Celtic contract status and if a fee would be involved in any move away from the club.

Giannis Chorianopolous is claiming Athens and Ntcham have a deal tied up between themselves and the deal will be concluded on July 1st when the club believe Ntcham will be FREE to join the Greek club.

Ntcham was once coveted by Porto for big money but the club refused to sell at the time. Since then, the midfielder’s influence on the team has dwindled in front of our eyes.

Oli got a move away in the second half of last season hoping to win a move to Marseille but he didn’t manage to make any impact on the French club.

It’s crazy to think Oli could be going for nothing considering what his value once was but Athens do believe they’re about to deal this deal.
