Scottish Premiership champions Celtic are edging closer to signing Mika Baur from SC Padeborn.
Sky Sports reports that the midfielder is keen on the move, with personal terms unlikely to be an issue due to the strong relationship between his agent, Christian Nerlinger, and Celtic.
Schalke have also shown interest in signing the 22-year-old, but Celtic are working on completing the deal with immediate effect.
The traditional club beat Hearts to win yet another championship on the last day of the 2025/26 season.
Similarly, Baur ended the season positively as Padeborn won promotion back to the Bundesliga after beating Wolfsburg in the relegation/promotion playoff. Baur was ever-present in their successful campaign after spending the previous season on loan at Dynamo Dresden.
