Bayern Munich have enforced the 12 month option on Christopher Scott’s contract.
On Saturday Ghana Soccer Net were very certain that the midfielder was on his way to Celtic on a free transfer.
Scott barely featured for Bayern in the season just ended but that could be linked to his contract situation with the 19-year-old unwilling to sign up for a new contract.
News Christopher Scott: Bayern hat die einseitige Option bis 2023 gezogen. Scott will aber weg, hat Wechselwunsch bereits hinterlegt. Düsseldorf (Allofs) will ihn unbedingt. Gespräche haben bereits stattgefunden. Scott kann sich Wechsel zur Fortuna vorstellen. #TransferUpdate ?

News Christopher Scott: Bayern has pulled the unilateral option until 2023. But Scott wants to leave and has already made a change request. Düsseldorf (Allofs) absolutely wants him. Discussions have already taken place. Scott can imagine moving to Fortuna.
War nie die Rede von. Wir haben von Gesprächen berichtet, die auch geführt worden sind. Scott will aber nicht ins Ausland. Er hat vor, in Deutschland zu bleiben.

Was never mentioned. We have reported on talks that have actually taken place. But Scott doesn’t want to go abroad. He intends to stay in Germany.
Florian Plettenberg reports for Sky Sports Germany.
Ange Postecoglou has tended to steer clear of project signings with most of his transfer business concentrated on players in the 24-27 age bracket.
Although Nir Bitton and Tom Rogic have moved on that seemed to have been anticipated with the January arrivals of Reo Hatate, Matt O’Riley and Yosuke Ideguchi.
Scott does seem to be highly rated but the same was being said of Luca Connell three years ago when he joined Celtic from Bolton, last week he was released without having made a competitive appearance.
