Trabzonspor are reported to have joined the race to sign Albian Ajeti.
The striker is in the final year of his Celtic contract and has been airbrushed out of the plans of Ange Postecoglou and Brendan Rodgers.
Signed in the summer of 2020 for £5m from West Ham he started off with a burst of goals but like many things in that doomed season everything quickly tailed off.
Ange Postecoglou tried to revive Ajeti and got a response of three goals in two matches in September 2021 when Kyogo Furuhashi and Giorgos Giakoumakis were injured.
Last season Ajeti was out on loan at Sturm Graz but there was little enthusiasm from the Austrian side to make the move permanent.
Turkish site Karadenzi Gazette reports:
Striker Albian Ajeti, with whom Gaziantep FK is in talks, is also in contact with Trabzonspor.
Managers suggested the striker to Trabzonspor. Trabzonspor, who wanted to buy the football player 3 years ago, is wondering what kind of decision will be made.
It was stated that the transfer might be difficult if the claret and blue side were also involved.
A year after joining West Ham from Basel in a £10m deal it is reasonable to assume that Ajeti is one of Celtic’s highest earners.
There has also been suggestions that Ismaila Soro and James McCarthy will leave Celtic this week.
The race to sign Albian Ajeti. – Words I NEVER thought I’d ever read
Thankfully BR is getting all the deadwood out of the club, I think that is TEN x Players to date with Ajeti – Soro – McCarthy to follow while other like Mikey J – Scales – Welsh – Bernbei – Haksabanovic etc will surely be out soon , which shows the true scale of the task left behind for BR to clean up
Other will I feel also be found lacking Turnbull, Sieghirst, Bain etc would be no loss..so could be 21+ players moved on or in the process of being moved on
” … Highest Earners At Celtic”!
What a travesty!
Imagine Celtic had had someone who had watched him and another who spoke to him before signing him.
Keep buying the merchandise folks! Albian needs your money!
