FAUSTO VERA has been linked with a move to Celtic for the past couple of weeks. The Argentine Defensive midfielder looks destined to leave this current club Argentines Junior.
Reports in recent days claim Fausto has been on a list of potential signings at Celtic Park but no contact has been made between the two clubs or the player’s reps. [RecordSport]
It would suggest to us that Celtic are currently pursuing other options.
RecordSport’s latest report on the player claims a bid from Brazilian club Corinthians. The paper claims the Corinthians have put in a €6m bid for 60% of Fausto’s transfer rights.
If the report is accurate, Celtic should be nowhere near this deal.
The bhoys have dipped into their pocket to sign Jota and CCV on a permanent deal this summer. While there’s still money to be spent, I don’t think we’ll see the Hoops go for large fees.
The Scottish Champions would need his full transfer and if the player is valued so highly, it doesn’t look on the cards.
We know a defensive midfielder is a priority for the manager. Ange is looking for someone who can martial the midfield and help protect the defence while allowing Callum McGregor to get further forward.
