celtic They will have to offer Hellas Verona a significant capital gain if they want to bring Kieran Bowie back to Scotland this summer.
Verona Courier Today we report on the 23-year-old and how it will take a big offer before any ch-ch-ch-changes happen between clubs this summer.
Celtic target a Stratton
The newspaper reports that several Serie A clubs, as well as some foreign clubs, are considering the striker this summer, with him only moving to Verona at the end of January. Celtic are one of those sides who remain curious.
According to him, 'everyone is going crazy' for the forward but Verona are standing firm. They will only let him leave in the coming weeks if they get €15m for him.
The message is clear, the centre-forward is an essential part of their plans, and a big offer will be required to reward him. They want to hold their Stratton until a larger capital gain can be secured. They paid €6.5m in January.
Sassuolo have already tried their luck, with Cagliari and Bologna also interested. But we will have to keep an eye on abroad also. Celtic remain keen to sign Bowie in the January transfer window. It remains to be seen whether they are willing to pay the required amount or not.
€15m demand
The €15 million transfer would immediately make Kieran Bowie the second most expensive signing of all time behind Jota. Therefore, this would be a significant investment and show of confidence from the Scottish champions.
The deal has yet to be done, but only on Verona's terms. The Italian side is also protected by a contract until 2030. As things stand, no such offer has been made for their player.
If Celtic make a reasonable offer and provide them with the 'substantial capital gains' they want, things will change. At that time, they would be dancing on the street.
