Odsonne Edouard

Kieran tierneys recent performances will focus the mind of the value teams have got from us over recent seasons, one year extension make him highest paid player at the club, face of everything with Adidas, make him 7 ( assuming he wants it), 55mil release clause.

Don’t get folk stating he wouldn’t go to Leeds palace etc. If Celtic receive north of £30m he’s for the off.

 

If he is willing to sign a year extension I can't see us accepting below 40 mill this summer.

Yes he is better than booth those clubs that have been mentioned no doubt in that. It’s modern football though I’ve seen many a great players go to mediocre sides purely based on finances.

 

Leeds are easily a bigger club than Leicester, and there’s more to being a big club than a stadium. Anyway it’s a difference of opinion Edouard won’t be going there anyway which is my main point.

 

Celtic have slapped an astonishing £40million price tag on Odsonne Edouard as they make it clear they have no intention of selling him this summer, Football Insider understands.

The Hoops hierarchy are adamant they will keep hold of their prize asset as they prepare for their tilt at a historic 10-in-a-row.

A Celtic source has told Football Insider that club chiefs are going to great lengths to block the sale of Edouard.




The board are aware the in-demand striker, 22, could be the difference between securing a remarkable 10th consecutive title or falling short.

That is why Premier League and top European clubs who want to sign Edouard will be told his value is £40m.


That is remarkable given a post-pandemic market in which transfer prices have already showed signs of tumbling.

Liverpool refused to pay the £53m release clause needed to sign Timo Werner earlier this summer and players being quoted as £40m assets earlier this year are now valued by their clubs at nearly half that.

Celtic have long regarded Edouard as a massive talent capable of reaching rare heights.

He is seen as more valuable than their two record sales, Kieran Tierney (£25million) and Moussa Dembele (£19million), each of whom left in the previous two windows.


Edouard signed a four-year contract in the summer of 2018 when his initial season-long loan from Paris Saint-Germain was converted into a club-record £9million transfer.

His 45 Celtic appearances last season yielded 27 goals and 19 assists while he also banged in a remarkable 11 goals in just six France Under-21s matches.

 

Well played Celtic board although I'd still be gutted if he left for £60m.

 

Don't think he's going anywhere but gies peace here. Leeds are a big club!! Anfield was only about circa 44k for years before it was developed. They're bigger than Lestar and probably at least half that top flight. Before the Russian and oil cash I'd personally have put them ahead of the likes of Man city and the London chavski.

Still a contemptible outfit though granted!!

 

I wish we would break the bank and get him on a new contract. It would near enough guarantee he’s here for at least one more year.

Is there no rumours at all about him extending?

 

Don’t get all the unreasonable hate for Leeds in this thread haha. They were class in the 60’s/70’s/80’s and then 90’s/early 00’s. Always had a great Scottish connection and also had some great games with us. They are probably one of the only truly followed teamS in England still. They still continued to get their fans in the lower leagues when they * themselves financially (which was all due to their board).
I honestly could see edouard seriously going there. Bamford is * and he cost £15 mil. They need a striker and the way they play (which is great under bielsa with a * squad) would suit eddy down to a T. With promotion they’d easy be able to spend £30 mil and reckon they will on a striker.

 

* Leeds!

 

leeds is a * hole and eddy will go to bigger club than that when the time comes.

 

Leeds

 

You obviously weren't in the Gallowgate last time they visited for a friendly.

 

What happened?

 

Let's just say they weren't that friendly.

 

Good on the board for that.Basically saying he’s not for sale unless you pay us silly money so we can replace him.

 

Wish they made it £50 million,but £40 million minimum it should be

 

I will 2nd that Big Time
