Thriller, Celtic come back with improved offer, what will AEK do
— Vagelis Georgariou (@vagelisgeo) July 23, 2020
Celtic have been on the hunt for a goalkeeper for over a month now after Fraser Forster refused not to return for the ten in a row season.
Barkas has been on their radar but this would look like a big shift towards trying to land a target it Celtic we’re offering that kind money out.
David Marshall and Joe Hart have also been names linked with a move to Celtic this summer.
It has yet to be confirmed by either club if the bid has been made but with nine days until the league starts, we’ll find out sooner rather than later about Celtic’s intentions.
