‘We’re a bit surprised’ – Club Director Makes Worrying Celtic Transfer Claim

Slovan Bratislava director Ivan Kmotrik has warned Celtic they will miss out on Andraz Sporar if they don’t pick up the phone soon.

Kmotrik claims there has been radio silence from Celtic since December 23rd – after they had a meeting about the player’s future with the club and Sporar’s agent.

There has been much talk of Celtic signing the prolific striker but as of yet, the director says Celtic haven’t made a serious offer – even though they would say they’d be in touch.

Things can change very quickly in football and Celtic could just be getting their ducks in a row to put a deal on the table.

Here’s what the director told SunSport:

“On December 23, there was a meeting between SK Slovan Bratislava and Celtic FC in the presence of Sporar’s player agent.

“We discussed with Celtic the possibilities for a potential transfer.

“Celtic responded that they would send an official proposal. But they didn’t make any more calls and didn’t send any proposal after our meeting.

“We’re a bit surprised and we don’t know now what is the situation with Celtic’s interest in Sporar.

“In the meantime, we have received offers from several clubs. We are open to negotiation with all serious partners, including Celtic.

“However, we will only accept a transfer fee which matches Sporar’s current value.”

Celtic have made a new striker the priority in this window with the club being short in the position. When Edouard was out injured, Neil Lennon had to start with Lewis Morgan up front with Bayo and Griffiths not ready to start a match at the time.

The duo seem to be on their way back but Neil Lennon wants proper reinforcements as he charges towards nine-in-a-row.
