The Scottish champions are chasing the German U21 midfielder, though negotiations over the transfer fee remain a sticking point. Celtic FC is working to finalize a transfer for SC Paderborn midfielder Mika Baur, with reports suggesting the deal could reach €8 million. Personal terms between Baur and Celtic are reportedly already agreed, which means the holdup is where it usually is: the two clubs haggling over the price tag. The club’s initial offer reportedly came in around £4 million, roughly €4.7 million. Born on July 9, 2004, in Salem, Germany, Baur is a midfielder with German-Malagasy heritage who came through the youth system at SC Freiburg.
