Overview
- Celtic have reportedly agreed personal terms with Mika Baur and are in advanced talks with SC Paderborn over a fee thought to be about £4m–€5m.
- Sources say Baur prefers a move to Celtic and is awaiting permission to travel to Scotland to undergo a medical if the clubs finalise terms.
- Paderborn manager Ralf Kettemann confirmed outside interest in his young players but stressed any sale remains hypothetical until the club agrees a deal.
- Baur is a 22-year-old Germany youth international who contributed roughly four goals and six to seven assists in Paderborn’s promotion season and offers versatility across attacking midfield roles.
- The transfer is being brokered by Christian Nerlinger’s CN Sports and, if completed, could accelerate further midfield changes at Celtic by creating room for outgoing players and helping the club prepare for early-season fixtures.
