SKY CONFIRM: Celtic in Serious £45 Million Transfer Negotiation with Rangers
Sky Sports have today confirmed that Celtic and Rangers are engaged in serious negotiations over a sensational £45 million transfer deal, in what would be one of the most astonishing moves in Scottish football history.
According to reports, talks have rapidly advanced over the past 48 hours, with both clubs now deep in discussions regarding a marquee player whose identity has not yet been officially disclosed. Sources close to both clubs suggest the player involved is a key Rangers star, with speculation mounting that it could be midfielder Todd Cantwell or highly-rated defender Connor Goldson.
The £45 million figure would not only shatter Scottish transfer records but also mark the first major transfer between the Old Firm rivals in decades. Traditionally, transfers between Celtic and Rangers have been extremely rare due to the intensity of the rivalry, making these negotiations even more extraordinary.
Sky Sports report that Celtic’s board are prepared to push the deal through to reinforce Brendan Rodgers’ squad ahead of next season’s Champions League campaign. Meanwhile, Rangers are believed to be weighing up the financial windfall as they look to rebuild under manager Philippe Clement.
Fans from both sides have taken to social media to express disbelief, with some welcoming the bold move while others view it as bordering on betrayal.
While final terms are yet to be agreed, Sky suggest an announcement could be made within the next week if talks continue to progress smoothly.
This would undoubtedly be a seismic moment in Scottish football.
