‘Their hatred of Celtic can’t be hidden’ ‘We’re doomed’ ‘What a bizarre article’ Daily Record reveals massive Celtic spending blow

Ange Postecoglou won’t be getting any Moussa Dembele windfall payments to boost his January transfer fund.

That is the reassuring news for the Daily Record’s army of readers with the Lyon striker reported to be a £5m target for Galatasaray. That is £5m that won’t be heading to Ibrox for Alfredo Morelos with the Turkish giants regularly linked with the Ibrox star.

Celtic sold Dembele to Lyon for £19.8m in August 2018 with that fee hanging over Morelos in every transfer window as clubs are constantly linked with putting in bids only for their interest to melt away.

If Celtic had a standard 10% sell on clause a £30m transfer fee would give them an additional £1m to spend which isn’t really going to make much difference. Nothing has ever been budgeted for.

During the summer the Record and other Scottish outlets were full on for add-ons as they attempted to big up the fees for Joe Aribo and Calvin Bassey, creating the phrase ‘attainable add ons’.

Aribo went to Southampton for £6m with the Bassey fee to Ajax allowing the troubled club to create a £4.9m summer transfer surplus after Ross Wilson’s Magnificent Seven have been accounted for.

Celtic don’t have nine first team squad players out of contract in May.
