Overview
- Reports on July 3–5 say Celtic reopened negotiations after an initial £1.7m offer was rejected and talks have progressed toward about £2.5m while Qarabag seeks up to £3m.
- Camilo Duran is a 24-year-old Colombian who scored around 15 goals with roughly 10 assists last season and struck five times in the Champions League, including against Newcastle.
- Celtic view Duran as a priority first summer signing because Kelechi Iheanacho left at the end of his contract, Daizen Maeda is linked with moves, and Jota faces fitness issues.
- Supporters publicly criticised Celtic’s opening bid as low, with fan anger increasing after reports that the £1.7m approach was dismissed by Qarabag.
- If completed at the top of the reported range the transfer would likely set a record sale for the Azerbaijan Premier League and underline rapid player-value inflation in smaller leagues.
