According to the Scottish Sun, Celtic is making significant process in securing a deal for U.S. men’s national team midfielder Darlington Nagbe, with the rumored cost at €3 million. Nagbe has been linked with the Scottish club for quite some time, and he attended the club’s UEFA Champions League match with Barcelona right before Thanksgiving.
The January transfer window opens in just over a week, and Nagbe could be one of the top items on the shopping list of Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers, according to the report. Celtic currently sits 14 points ahead of rival Rangers atop the Scottish Premier League table.
If Nagbe were to move to Scotland, he’d gain exposure in Champions League matches. He would also join Perry Kitchen and Bjorn Johnsen at Hearts as the Americans plying their trade in Scotland.
