A little known French twitter account has claimed that Celtic have completed a deal to sign Edouard Michut from Paris Saint Germain.
Laurent Chevalier’s Twitter bio claims that he is a Paris based reporter for ESPN but there are no links to his work on Twitter or on a wider Google search.
At 19 and without having started a senior match for PSG Michut doesn’t fit in with the general profile of Ange Postecoglou while last week’s signing of Aaron Mooy gives the Celtic boss seven options for his three midfield places.
Départ bouclé pour Édouard Michut au Celtic Glasgow. Le titi parisien ne sera pas vendu au prix initialement demandé, mais le PSG a fixé une clause de rachat aux alentours de 15M€. Le club de la capitale va récupérer 3 millions dans l’opération : 2 en juillet, 1 en janvier 23. pic.twitter.com/dYU1IuiKE8

TRANSLATION:
Departure completed for Édouard Michut at Celtic Glasgow. The Parisian will not be sold at the initial asking price, but PSG have set a buyout clause at around 15M € . The capital club will recover 3 million in the operation: 2 in July, 1 in January 23.
Details are very vague from that tweet, especially over a 15m buy-out.
Postecoglou is still active in the market but it seems like any more signings will largely be driven by the departure of players.
Could that possibly be a repurchase value if he does well?
