Celtic could have a massive decision to make in January with regard to their top star Odsonne Edouard.
The Frenchman hasn’t been at his best this year but there have been signs in the last few games that he’s ready to hit too form before too long.
However, Edouard is now entering the final 18 months of his Celtic deal, the last point in which Celtic can really ask for top dollar for the striker before they’re forced to make concessions in the summer.
According to former SPL chief Roger Mitchell, who now resides in Italy, there’s major interest from both Juventus and Milan in the Celtic star.
Here is the vibe from Italy. He's wanted in January by mainly juve and also milan. Asking price 30m apparently. @PaulJohnDykes https://t.co/mSVLHhCLH9

The fee of £30m would shatter Celtic’s transfer record again. Moussa Dembele went for £21m, then Kieran Tierney was sold to Arsenal for £25m. If Eddy was to move for that money it would be a major profit on big investment of £9m which was paid to PSG. The French club also have a sell-on clause, so all that money wouldn’t be Celtic’s.
It would be surprising to see Celtic sell up now, while the team still has a chance of winning the league, keeping a hold of our best players has to be the priority.
