The winger that Celtic identified to replace Nicolas Kuhn won’t be making a move to Glasgow, according to reports in Austria.
Isak Jansson is on the verge of signing for Ligue 1 side Nice, according to a report by Sky Sports in Austria.
His form sparked interest from across Europe, with Celtic among the clubs exploring a deal to bring him in as a replacement for Kühn, who recently moved to Como in a £17 million transfer.
However, Celtic look set to miss out, with Jansson is now set to join Nice in a deal worth €10 million. The fee would represent a record sale for Rapid Vienna and underlines how highly-rated the 23-year-old has become.
CeltsAreHere told you that Celtic submitted a bid in the region of between €2-3 million, and were told that his value was seen as “ridiculous”.
Jansson has now left the Austrian club’s pre-season training camp to complete his switch to France, ending any hope of a move to Glasgow.
Celtic will now have to turn their attention to alternative wide options as Brendan Rodgers seeks to reinforce his attacking line before the Champions League play-offs.
