Celtic is poised to finalize the signing of midfielder Mika Baur from SC Paderborn following reports that Baur missed training. The German under-21 international had previously agreed to terms with Celtic, but negotiations stalled due to Paderborn's £7 million price demand. Recent reports suggest that Paderborn has granted Baur time off to discuss the transfer with Celtic, potentially allowing him to undergo a medical examination soon. This development follows Celtic's recent acquisition of winger Haissem Hassan, signaling further roster changes as the club seeks to strengthen its midfield ahead of the new season.
