Overview
- Celtic confirmed the signing on Friday, July 10, 2026, saying Camilo Duran has joined on a five-year contract subject to international clearance, with most outlets reporting a fee of about £6 million.
- The 24-year-old joins from Qarabağ after a breakout season in which he registered 15 goals and 10 assists and scored five goals in the UEFA Champions League.
- Duran has linked up with the squad at Celtic's training camp in Portugal and could make a non-competitive debut in the Algarve against Sporting CP.
- Manager Martin O'Neill said the club had tracked Duran since April and views the signing as the start of a wider recruitment phase that includes reported talks to re-sign Kelechi Iheanacho and to bring in Marcelo Saracchi.
- The transfer underlines rising values for players from smaller European leagues and raises pressure on Celtic to make further signings quickly so new arrivals can integrate before domestic and European fixtures.
