The €9m asking price for reported Celtic midfield target | OneFootball

Celtic have been told that they will need to pay €9m to sign Lennon Miller, according to a report. The update comes from distinguished French outlet L’Equipe, who advise that Strasbourg have entered the discussion to sign the talented Motherwell midfielder, who was recently included in the Scotland squad for upcoming friendlies.

The report, which was published on Friday, appears to suggest that Motherwell are holding out for around £7.5m to sign their midfield star. This fee appears to be excessive, especially given that Miller is about to enter the final year of his current deal.

The 18-year-old has made 76 appearances for the Fir Park club, amassing 11 assists and scoring 5 goals. The performances in the midfield for Stuart Kettlewell’s team caught the eye with Celtic reportedly making an approach in January. Michael Wimmer replaced Kettlewell in February and has admitted that he’s realistic about keeping the player, who is destined for the top.

Celtic are expected to dip into the transfer market to make three or four signings, before looking at letting any of the current team depart. Of course there will be a refreshing of the first team, with Kieran Tierney arriving and a number of fringe players expected to leave.
