A report has named Celtic’s asking price for Olivier Ntcham. France Football has disclosed that the Hoops want between 15 and 17 million Euros for the player – which translates as between 13 and 15 million pounds.
The midfielder is currently in-demand at the moment, as both Marseille and Porto are reportedly interested in the player.
Are club prepared to sell?
The fact that the Hoops have named their price for the player is certainly quite intriguing. It could mean that they are prepared to sell the player in order to fund signings.
Will they get the money they want for the player? In the current transfer market they have a real chance. The fact that two teams are reportedly interested in Ntcham could also create a bidding war.
On his day a superb player
There is another question that has to be answered: would it be a smart move to sell Ntcham? On his day he is one of the best players in Scotland.
Although it has to be said that he has not been a first-team regular under Neil Lennon. The Hoops boss may consider it worthwhile to move the player on.
Should the Hoops boss be given the money to spend in the transfer window, then the move to sell Ntcham makes a lot of sense. Should the money not be spent then the Hoops are better off keeping the player.
