Celtic, Falkirk To Receive Record Fee
Celtic Set To Smash Transfer Record For Falkirk Star
Falkirk Set To Receive Record Fee As Celtic swoops For Rumoured £4million Man
Celtic are reportedly set to break their transfer record to sign Falkirk defender Kerr McInroy. The 20-year-old centre-back has been impressive for the Bairns this season, and his performances have attracted the attention of several clubs, including Celtic, Rangers and Aberdeen.
According to reports, Celtic are willing to pay a fee of around £4 million for McInroy, which would make him the most expensive player in Falkirk's history. The fee would also eclipse the £3 million that Celtic paid for Odsonne Edouard in 2017.
McInroy has made 30 appearances for Falkirk this season, scoring three goals. He has also been capped at Under-21 level for Scotland.
Brendan Rodgers Keen On McInroy
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is a big admirer of McInroy and is believed to be keen to add him to his squad this summer. Rodgers has been impressed by McInroy's physicality, composure and ability to play out from the back.
McInroy would be a welcome addition to the Celtic squad, which is already well-stocked in defence. However, the signing of McInroy would allow Rodgers to rotate his squad more often, which could be important in a season where Celtic will be competing on four fronts.
Falkirk Set To Receive Record Fee
Falkirk are set to receive a record fee for McInroy, which will be a major boost to the club's finances. The Bairns have been in financial difficulty in recent years, and the sale of McInroy will help to ease some of the club's financial worries.
Falkirk chairman Martin Ritchie said: "We are delighted to have agreed a fee with Celtic for Kerr McInroy. Kerr is a fantastic young player and we are proud of the progress he has made at Falkirk. We wish him all the best for the future."
Conclusion
The transfer of Kerr McInroy from Falkirk to Celtic is a major coup for the Hoops. McInroy is a highly-rated young defender who has the potential to become a key player for Celtic in the years to come. The fee that Celtic are paying for McInroy is a reflection of his talent and potential.
The sale of McInroy is also a major boost for Falkirk. The Bairns have been in financial difficulty in recent years, and the sale of McInroy will help to ease some of the club's financial worries.
