Celtic could sign Ola Solbakken for 'bargain price' in summer window

Celtic could snap up Ola Solbakken for 'bargain price' in transfer contingency

CELTIC could sign Bodo/Glimt star Ola Solbakken for a bargain price this summer, it has been reported.

The winger emerged as a potential transfer target this summer earlier this week. 

A report stated that Solbakken was being considered by Parkhead chiefs as part of the club's summer contingency plan, should Jota not want to make his stay a permanent one beyond this season.

Jota will cost the Hoops £6million if he does want to move on from Benfica. 

However, Gazzetta dello Sport say Solbakken could be signed for a fraction of the price.

The Italian outlet reports that Celtic would have to splash £1.6million for the Norwegian player. 

Their report states that Roma are also interest in the attacker, with Bodo/Glimt having faced Jose Mourinho's side in the Europa Conference League too this term.

He scored twice in Bodo's famous 6-1 thumping of Jose Mourinho's side.

Solbakken also scored against Celtic as the Norwegian champions eliminated Ange Postecoglou 's team in the knockout stage.
