Celtic make Cameron Carter-Vickers transfer decision as West Ham news emerges
According to sources who spoke to Football Insider, Celtic will reject offers for Cameron Carter-Vickers this month
despite interest from Premier League teams.
Transfer correspondent Pete O’Rourke stated in an interview with the latest episode of Football Insider’s Inside
Track Podcast that the Hoops “wouldn’t consider” selling the centre-back, who is valued at £20 million.
West Ham United, Nottingham Forest, and Brentford are reportedly showing interest in the USMNT international
this month; however, Celtic is anticipated to reject any bids made in January.
This season, Brendan Rodgers’ team has struggled defensively, thus they believe they can’t afford to part with one of
their strongest defensive alternatives, even at a high cost.
The 26-year-old, who joined the Hoops in 2021 after first joining on loan from Tottenham,
has been a standout for the team.
He signed a permanent contract with the Hoops for an alleged £6 million, but if interest in subsequent windows
persists, they should expect to turn a healthy profit.
He has missed 12 games this season in all competitions due to injuries, including Celtic’s most recent league games
against St. Mirren and Rangers.
Carter-Vickers would be one of the club’s record departures if Celtic is able to collect their £20 million valuation for
him; Jota’s rumored £25 million move to Al Ittihad in the summer leads the list.
Rangers are currently in second place in the league, eight points behind Celtic, who are still at the top.
Their next match comes on Sunday afternoon (January 21) in the Scottish Cup, against fifth-tier Buckie Thistle.
