According to a report in The Daily Record, Celtic’s on-form striker, Odsonne Edouard, has been targeted by a host of Serie A clubs but have ruled out a move due to the valuation given by the Parkhead club.
The article claims that Lazio, Napoli and Roma have all been credited with an interest and although it doesn’t detail exactly what the Hoops are looking for, it does mention that it would have to be a figure north of the £25m paid by Arsenal for Kieran Tierney.
Edouard has been in stunning form of late, his performances in the Europa League and for France under 21s have been particularly eye catching. He now has a ridiculous 10 goals in 5 games for the young French team following this international break which will surely add to his list of suitors.
What would you sell Odsonne Edouard for?
£20-25m
£25-30m
£30m plus
Celtic fans reacted to the story on Twitter with the usual scepticism and mocking of their city rivals during an international break in which column inches need to be filled.
That’s an even bigger reach than the times hit out with the other day. Napoli Online? What’s that? An Italian Fan forum?
Do yous 2 have a dare goin on or somethin?
Whoever runs the story closest to the opposite of a fact its based on has to do 50 spinnies on the Frosty Jack? ????️

Thread about Celtic…littered with obsessed zombies. Standard. They don’t believe Edouard will sell for £20m but have the fat Bufter with an £80m price tag. Most deluded fans on the world. ????????

Not much unites the footballing super powers in Glasgow but on this occasion even Rangers fans reacted to the story with disbelief.
