The Fitbaw Gospel account on Facebook always coms across as sensible and certainly not sensationalist so when they claim to have an exclusive story it’s worthy of a mention, especially when it all seems to make perfect sense.
Apparently theRangers ceiling is £3.5m plus add-ons and they aren’t willing to go beyond that. This appears to be ‘inadequate’ as far as Motherwell position is concerned.
Meanwhile Celtic are apparently preparing a £5.3m bid for Lennon Miller with add-ons that could take the deal up to £6.5m depending on overall appearances, Champions League appearances and title wins. Celtic are also offering a substantial sell-on fee with The Fitbaw Gospel pointing out that Motherwell are well aware that Celtic have a much better record at achieving high transfer fees that the latest Ibrox club.
And there’s more, the Celtic deal will include a loan-back to Motherwell for six months so the player will be able to play for the Fir Park side all season but crucially Motherwell will receive the cash in January.
There’s a mention that Celtic are keen on getting this deal done before Premier League interest in the player grows, with both Liverpool and Newcastle quoted.
