Celtic in talks to sign Hasan Ali Kaldirim

Celtic are in talks to sign Fenerbahce left back Hasan Ali Kaldirim, according to a report from Turkish outlet Spork.

The Turkish defender is out to contract in the summer and Celtic officials are said to be locked in talks with the player/s agent already, however, Fenerbache have not gave up on their pursuit to keep him at the club and they are willing to offer him €1.8 million a year to stay in Turkey.

The 27-year old Turkish international has been free to talk to interested parties since January and it was reported earlier this year that Celtic had tried to get him to sign a pre-contract agreement to join the club in the summer.

Such an agreement was never signed so the player’s agent can continue speaking to whomever he wants and it looks like a move to Celtic could sill be on the cards, provided the offer to stat at Fenerbahce isn’t too tempting for him.
