After a summer of negotiations between the English Championship team and the Scottish champions, Celtic is very certain to recruit Adam Idah from Norwich City.
After agreeing to a short-term contract in January that lasted until the end of the season, the Republic of Ireland international enjoyed a fantastic season on loan.
Brendan Rodgers declared Adam Idah one of his top summer objectives after 19 games and nine goals, including the Scottish Cup winning goal against Rangers.
It appears that the Celtic manager has finally got his man. Odsonne Edouard will cost PSG £9 million, making this the most expensive Scottish football transfer ever. Celtic made this purchase for the player.
Celtic’s £9.5 million purchase of Adam Idah in full According to Sky Sports, the agreement that convinced Norwich to give Idah to Celtic might be worth more than £9.5 million.
The Scottish champions will contribute an additional £1 million to the bid to make it more than the record amount spent for Edouard.
The initial payment will be £8.5 million. But once The Canaries added a 15% sell-on clause for any future fees Celtic may receive, that amount might increase even further.
If that percentage is only determined by profit, it is unknown. Idah is reportedly “ready” to sign a “long term” contract, which, given Celtic’s recent commercial practices, is probably a five-year agreement.
The move will be completed following a medical.
By making the transfer, Idah Bredan Rodgers will sign four summer players for the upcoming campaign, providing competition and assistance for Kyogo Furuhashi, who was Celtic’s only recognized striker.
The timing of the transaction to bring Idah to the team could not have been better, since the Japanese forward was experiencing shoulder pain over the weekend.
Now, Celtic fans will be hoping to see Idah in the green and white Hoops once more when the team plays Hibs in the League Cup on Sunday at Celtic Park.
