Celtic to block any Mika Baur offer in January transfer window
Mika Baur has been nothing short of a revelation since his £4.5 million move from Paderborn in the summer…
And as a result the Celtic midfielder is attracting admirers elsewhere due to his impressive form, with it being reported that clubs across the top leagues in Europe are willing to pay up to three times more than what Celtic splashed out for the playmaker just a short few months ago.
Baur who recently made his full German international debut has become one of the automatic first team picks under Martin O’Neill, and if the club were to cash in on the first offer for the 22 year old, it wouldn’t go down too well with either the Irishman himself or the Celtic supporters collectively.
However we needn’t worry as according to Football Insider’s transfer guru Peter O’Rourke, Celtic have no intention of cashing in on Baur’s excellent form despite growing interest from several top clubs in European football.
Speaking on the Transfer Insider O’Rourke explained:“I think he’s too important to let go, especially midway through the season.
“He’s become a key man for Martin O’Neill’s side since his arrival, Mika Baur. 19 appearances, four goals, starting to build a relationship now with [Callum] McGregor, too.
“He’s going to be vital for Celtic if they are to retain their Scottish Premiership title, and if they are to progress any further in Europe, he is going to be instrumental in that as well.
“I don’t think Celtic will be contemplating cashing in on Mika Baur in January even if there was interest.”
The club have a gem on their hands in Mika Baur, and despite not being selected for Jurgen Klopp’s latest German squad (although injury would have put paid to that anyway) he’s a player with a big future, and Celtic supporters will be hoping that he will be showcasing that class in the green and white hoops for the next couple of years at least.
