The Story in 60 Seconds

Writer Aodhán Ó Conchobhair argues that Celtic must avoid selling midfielder Mika Baur despite emerging transfer interest from Europe's top leagues. Sky Sport Germany reports that clubs across the English Premier League, Bundesliga, and Serie A are monitoring the 22-year-old following his strong start under manager Martin O'Neill. Since arriving in the summer, Baur has scored four goals in 19 appearances and attracted potential valuations of €15-20 million.

Ó Conchobhair maintains that Celtic should resist cashing in on the midfielder and instead build a competitive team around him. Baur is under contract until 2030 with no release clause, meaning Celtic are under no immediate pressure to sell in January. However, the writer urges the club hierarchy to demonstrate ambition and make departures unattractive, despite Baur's recent ankle injury suffered against Kilmarnock.
