Celtic prepares £4.3m bid for midfielder Mika Baur from Paderborn

Celtic aims to secure midfielder Mika Baur from SC Paderborn with a £4.3 million bid as they prepare for the new Scottish Premiership season. Paderborn has rejected previous offers, emphasizing that their valuation remains firm despite Baur entering the final year of his contract. A potential agreement may hinge on meeting their asking price after Baur's significant contributions in the 2025/26 season, where he scored four goals and made five assists. With Celtic facing potential departures from their midfield, Baur's acquisition could address key tactical needs. Negotiations could intensify if Paderborn confirms their acceptance of the financial terms.
