Not here to argue, but I thought I'd give some accurate information as almost every news article is misinformed, I keep reading stuff like £22m should get it done, these are made up figures.

In reality, Celtic want at least £30m and still have 4 years and 7 transfer windows to get it, the only accurate figure I've read was about 100 pages ago when it said Celtic asked for £40m(Celtic's high position to deter paltry bids).

There's a bit of understandable ignorance surrounding Celtic's finances on these boards, we've never been in a better financial position than we are now, we have a lot of money in the bank and plenty of saleable assets on the pitch, we also have two billionaire owners that offer us a certain security.

I think if Arsenal are making the type of bids that are being reported he will be staying at Celtic for at least another window, we are well aware that selling an injured players is not ideal to get maximum compensation, so keeping him longer and allowing other parties time to get involved is a very real option and looking more likely.

If he goes to Arsenal the fee will be over £30m (including easily achievable add-ons)

Celtic would actually prefer not to sell to Arsenal, as the likelihood of him moving on from Arsenal and activating a sell on fee is lowered compared to a team like Everton, we pocketed an extra £7.5m from VVD when he moved to Liverpool and would be hoping for similar when KT moves on in the future.

He’s coming here for under £25m, now piss off.

Can confirm.

We'll get him below 30. He's not going anywhere else unless a club with better prospects than us comes around of which the likeliness is close to 10%.

 

[Ricardinho]

No chance will that bum league ever ship a player for £30m+

Just won't happen.

 

[Iceman10]

"Not here to argue" was a smart way to start. Thanks for the insight.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

£20 million + 5million worth of add-ons will definitely be enough. £30 million ffs.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Celtic sold a guy who'll likely be crowned the best player in the world this year for £12 million to Southampton for crying out loud.

Eh?

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Eh?

Van Dijk.....

 

[GDeep™]

No one is paying 30M for him.

 

[Hooplehead]

I should also add that I've been told Celtic are preparing to offer KT a new 2 year contract extension with a £10k wage bump, obviously that's much less than he would get at arsenal but since we can keep him for another 4 years if we want on his current contract it's designed to reward his loyalty and strengthen our negotiating power with potential suitors down the line.

Wishful thinking.

Desperate, guesswork, drivel. Sounds like you’re trying to convince yourself mate, not us.

Van Dijk.....

Best player in the world is a bit reaching, no? Man, shoulda signed him when we were linked with him back in the day. Easy to say in hindsight but he totally fit the profile of what we needed back then also. How far he has come though is rather incredible.

 

[Iceman10]

Wishful thinking.

In truth if a Celtic fan with their bias is saying it will cost 30m that means 25m is probably the right price. Not too fussed about doing something with add-ons to meet half-way anyway.

No buddy, he's ours. No amount of money is keeping him in that **** hole any longer.

He's favourite to win the Ballon d'Or with the bookies.

Really? Rather unexpected.

 

[GDeep™]

He’s a decent LB. Celtic fans are behaving like we’re signing Messi.

Signing or not signing him will not impact us much compared to a Zaha for example.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Really? Rather unexpected.

Not really, I know defenders don't usually win these awards but when you look at the impact he's had on Liverpool, the fact they won the CL, that Holland got to the final of the nations league, Liverpool finished with 97 points in the league. I think it'd be fully deserved. No other player on the planet as played such an important role for their club than Van Dijk has imo.
