Tipsbladet

So that is huge news that has came out as I said over the past half an hour at point of recording this video, I was literally in the midst of putting my notes together, getting all my tabs ready and what not, when bang, this bombshell dropped and it looks as though he will join alongside another midfielder who we're going to talk about who seems to be joining Celtic imminently, Celtic might have two of a potential three midfielders they want through the door before the deadline this week.

If we go over and look at the article very quickly, Tipsbladet is where this has came from, of course a publication we know very well as Celtic fans, it's the same publication that reported the story on Kasper Hus signing, a number of other Danish centric stories as well over these past few years, it is looking very very likely that Oliver Sorensen is leaving Parma to join Celtic, it is for the entire season, it will have that purchase option included, the medical is already underway and once that is completed, he just needs to sign a contract.

So this is a big piece of news this morning, one that actually brings me a lot of excitement, I think this will be a good signing for Celtic and I know what people's first reactions are, oh it's a loan deal, I don't mind a loan deal as much when there is an option to buy there, it's not like one of these players that we're going to struggle to sign next year because he's played very well and the fee will be inflated, there will be a set fee agreed with the club, effectively you are making a signing and in fact you get that tie before you buy it, if he's not good enough you're not forced to sign him, an option to buy a loan move is far greater than just a normal loan move which do get very very tedious and frustrating, this not so much, he formerly played for FC Michelin in Denmark and then he got a big move to Parma and it's just not quite worked out for him, they paid €10 million for him, so you've got to imagine that this option to buy is going to have quite a substantial fee involved, I don't think Parma are going to want to cut half of their, I don't think they're going to want to lose half of that fee, I think this is probably going to be one of these options to buy that is in the region to £7-8 million They'll want to recoup as much of that 10 million euros as possible.

He'll be coming into Celtic probably expected to play a lot of football but the move's just not worked out for him at Parma despite playing a lot of football for them.
