da doce： Sheffield United are yet to receive any concrete offers for reported Celtic target George Baldock, according to The Athletic.
The Lowdown: Baldock links
da supremo： Baldock, who was wanted by Neil Lennon back in 2019, has emerged on the Hoops’ radar once again this month.
Reports suggested that Celtic would be willing to pay £5-8m for the 28-year-old, who has just 12 months left on his £10,000-a-week Bramall Lane deal.
Recent stories have claimed that Baldock is on a list of potential right-back targets, with Ange Postecoglou spending days watching footage of those targets.
He’s reportedly approved a potential deal for Baldock, however, it doesn’t look as if Celtic have made an official bid as of yet.
The Latest: No offers
The Athletic’s Richard Sutcliffe shared a story regarding the Blades’ transfer business on Friday.
He addressed both incomings and outgoings, admitting ‘there have been no concrete offers’ for Baldock – an interesting six-word update as you’d think Celtic may have made their move going off recent reports.
The Verdict: Celtic looking abroad?
Since Celtic’s interest in Baldock came out at the beginning of the month, the Hoops have been linked to two right-backs from Ligue 1 side Rennes.
Brandon Soppy and Sacha Boey are the full-backs in question, so perhaps the Hoops are looking to explore the European market over a swoop for Baldock.
It could make perfect sense, especially with Baldock not looking to depart Yorkshire. Right-backs are required at Celtic Park before the new season, but at this moment in time, a move for Baldock appears unlikely.
