da wazamba: As reported by The Mirror, Celtic are facing fresh interest from one of Europe’s biggest clubs for the signature of their star striker Moussa Dembele.
What’s the story?
da bet7: A week barely goes by without a new club throwing their hat in the ring on Dembele’s future and this Sunday is no different.
The Mirror reckon that German giants Bayern Munich are the latest interested in signing the young Frenchman and have signalled their intent to make a move in the summer.
Carlo Ancelotti and the money men at Bayern rate him at around £30m, according to the paper, which would prove very tempting indeed for Celtic this summer. Should they sell?
The key to Europe
Keeping Moussa Dembele must rank high on Brendan Rodgers’ wishlist this summer as he plans another assault on the UEFA Champions League. Qualifying for the group stages is the main and basic aim of Celtic’s European adventures but their ambitions lie beyond that. What they want more than anything is qualification through the groups for either the last 16 of the Champions League or last 32 of the Europa League.
Dembele, who scored five European goals in his first few months at the club, is absolutely key to those ambitions and if at all possible Celtic should hold on to him, at least for another year.
Yes, the reported £30m is massive money to receive as a Scottish club but in a changing and increasingly bloated transfer market, Dembele’s value could rise even higher with more Champions League goals under his belt. Those goals could well fire them to where they want to be as a club.
