A report that Celtic are interested in David Colina has surfaced in the Croatia media.
The left-back has been mentioned as a signing target on social media with little real substance.
Once someone picks up on it in one country it inevitably gets repeated in another, growing in credibility even if the source seems less than rock solid.
At lunch-time today the Glasgow Times picked up on a report on Colina.
Index reports:
YESTERDAY, it was announced that the Scottish giant Celtic is interested in bringing in David Colina, the 20-year-old left-back of Hajduk and one of the best players in the league in that position.
There is no official offer yet, but the amount of three million euros was reached in an oral conversation. The people of Split allegedly want to earn even more money in this combination.
This is what the situation looked like, where the story remained yesterday, and today we find out the exact amount that Hajduk is asking Celtic to agree to sell Colina.
Celtic’s interest in a new left-back would put the future of Boli Bolingoli in doubt with the Belgian barely getting a look in since the turn of the year.
Greg Taylor seems to be developing into an important part of the team but beyond him there aren’t many alternative options.
Daniel Church’s progress has stalled over the last year with a loan move to East Fife cut short in January. Andrew Gutman appears to be impressing with Cincinatti in the MLS but two months short of his 24th birthday he is unlikely to break into the US national team to gain a work permit.
