According to Sky Germany, SC Paderborn talisman Mika Baur is on his way to Glasgow Celtic to finalize his transfer.
In the report, it's believed the U-21 German international has already agreed to a contract with the Scottish champions until 2031.
After weeks of intense and tough negotiations with the Hoops, Paderborn can seemingly expect to land a record sale.
Sky Germany understands that the newly promoted Bundesliga club will receive a transfer fee of €8million, including bonuses.
Baur was also a target for FC Schalke 04, however, the Royal Blues could not compete in the same financial sphere as Celtic.
As for Martin O'Neill's side, they can look forward to a player with an eye for a pass, set-piece quality and defensive diligence.
Last season, the 22-year-old featured 32 times in the 2.Bundesliga, providing 4 goals and 3 assists to help guide Paderborn to promotion.
