Bristol City make “firm offer” for Celtic target Andraz Sporar

Celtic face competition from Bristol City in the race to sign Andraz Sporar this month after the English Championship club made a “firm offer” for the Slovan Bratislava striker.

That’s according to the Daily Record, who claim while Celtic are “firmly in the mix” to sign the 25-year-old, the Robins have submitted an offer for him.

The report confirms Sporting Lisbon are also interested in Sporar, but Bristol City are the only side to have made a “firm offer.”

READ CELTIC VERDICT

Celtic’s stance on Sporar is certainly a confusing one when all the previous reports are taken into consideration.

Firstly Neil Lennon confirmed Celtic held initial talks with Slovan over a move for the striker last month; something that has also been confirmed by Bratislava’s general director Ivan Kmotrik.

And speculation of a move appeared to be gathering pace after reports confirmed the Slovakian side are set to sign a replacement for Sporar later this month.

However Kmotrik has also revealed that Celtic have not followed up their initial interest, giving the likes of Bristol City the chance to make a bid.

And while the Hoops still appear to be interested following the Daily Record’s report, they will have competition following the Robins’ “firm offer.”
