Raul Moro

Celtic are weighing up an offer for Real Valladolid’s coveted £8.5million-rated winger Raul Moro.

Equally comfortable on either flank, Ajax have made the former Spain Under-21 international a priority signing

Despite technical director Alex Kroes publicly confirming his interest in the 22-year-old earlier this week, the Dutch giants have yet to meet Real Valladolid’s asking price.

The breakout star of a club battling to avoid relegation from La Liga, Moro is likely to leave this month to finance signings needed to strengthen other areas in the team.

Real Valladolid are aware of Celtic’s interest in their prize asset, but have yet to receive a financial proposal.

Speaking this week, Ajax’s Kroes confirmed: ‘We are interested in Raul Moro, yes. Moro can play on both the left and right wings.’

Initially signed from Lazio on a one-year loan deal, Moro earned a permanent contract after helping Real Valladolid to promotion last season, and has claimed four goals in 19 appearances so far this term.

Scouring the market for a wide player, Celtic also have an interest in Sarpsborg winger Sondre Orjasaeter.

Valued at £7m, the 21-year-old Norwegian has been extensively scouted, with Fiorentina, Parma and Nice also credited with an interest.

Brendan Rodgers is keen to strengthen his options in wide areas and allow Honduran winger Luis Palma to go out on loan in search of first-team football.

 

Nice. Looks a mix between Jota and Kühn, get it done.

 

Liking the standard of player we're aiming for.

KT plus a good winger would be a big positive. 2 wingers would be delightful.

 

He genuinely looks * class.

4 goals and 2 assists in 20 games this season for an absolutely pish Valladolid team.

Him and Kuhn with Kvistgaarden through the middle. Christ.

 

Been really happy with the links so far, would be happy with this too.

 

Definite game changer type..

Looks quality..

 

Surley we can outbid Ajax for him

 

Agree good to see the apparent standard of player being linked has improved. Although it may just be because we paid money for Engels we are now being thought of by more agents etc and all just media talk.

 

Get it done!

 

Would probably take him over the others, looks like the sort of wingers we've been crying out for.

Just need to get one of these players in shortly, ideally before the home game against Dundee.

 

Will he need sweet talked like that * at Lazio

 

Looks like a brilliant dribbler and very creative - a bit like Jota but seems quicker?

The type of player that if you put them in a better team, they’d score goals for fun. 100% take.

 

Exactly what we need..

A quick, tricky player with quality that can unlock sides..

 

We should have been doing this a while back instead of, what Rodgers alluded to jn the summer, selling high to buy higher.
Toi many years we've stuck with the 2-3 million market. About time we see the fruits of our transfer policy

 

Lad looks immense would be over the moon with, him a lb (KT) a 6 or 10 and I would * myself.
