Celtic squad transfer value revealed as Jota permanent fee put in focus and Callum McGregor leads the way

Ange Postecoglou has another rebuild on his hands this summer at Celtic.

The Australian had a massive job on his hands last summer, but after just two transfer windows Postecoglou managed to bring the title back to Parkhead.

The Champions League group stage is just around the corner and the squad is in need of additions.

Cameron Carter-Vickers is the first done deal in the door as he made his loan spell permanent, with more expected to follow him through the door.

Jota is expected to agree a permanent move from Benfica, and could become one of the highest-value assets when the deal gets over the line.

The club could look to offset some of their spending with some player sales, with some fringe players likely to be heading out of the door. But how much can the club expect to recoup?

The value is based on Transfermarkt data from the squad that ended last season with the Scottish Premiership title.

Players who have already been released by the club or are out of contract, such as Kerr McInroy or Karamoko Dembele, have not been included in the current valuations.

Goalkeepers

Joe Hart - £1.64m

Scott Bain - £720k

Vasilis Barkas - £1.35m

Experienced Joe Hart is the undisputed number one at Celtic Park, with Scott Bain and Vasils Barkas acting as back-up. The Greek stopper has been shipped out on loan to Utrecht for next season, and fans will hope to see him recapture his form in the Eredivise and raise his valuation back up to the £5million paid out for the stopper.

Defenders

Christopher Jullien - £4.95m

Carl Starfelt - £3.6m

Stephen Welsh - £1.35m

Liam Scales - £540k

Dane Murray - £90k

Greg Taylor - £1.58m

Boli Bolingoli - £1.35m

Cameron Carter-Vickers - £6.3m

Adam Montgomery - £405k

Osaze Urgohide - £450k

Josip Juranovic - £3.6m

Anthony Ralston - £1.62m

Incoming Cameron Carter-Vickers leads the way after he penned a permanent agreement from Tottenham after an impressive campaign. Despite an injury-plagued campaign and just one appearance, Christopher Jullien isn't far behind and will be hoping to show he is back to his best next term.

Midfielders

Ismaila Soro - £810k

Liam Shaw - £315k

Callum McGregor - £6.75m

David Turnbull - £5.85m

James McCarthy - £2.25m

Reo Hatate - £1.08m

Yosuke Ideguchi - £810k

Matt O’Riley - £405k

James Forrest - £5.4m

Jota - £4.95m

Mikey Johnston - £900k

Liel Abada - £4.05m

Callum McGregor is rated as the prized asset among the midfielders, but a move away from Celtic Park for the captain seems highly unlikely. Jota is also handed an interesting price tag, with the player expected to make his move permanent this summer. Celtic have agreed to pay Benfica a fee in the region of £6.5million, but the boffins value the winger slightly under that fee.

Strikers

Kyogo Furuhashi - £4.95m

Daizen Maeda - £1.44m

Albian Ajeti - £2.25m

Giorgios Giakoumakis - £1.8m

Johnny Kenny - £158k

Unsurprisingly, Kyogo Furuhashi has been named as the most expensive Celtic striker. He netted 17 times during an impressive debut campaign in Scotland, and will be hoping to recreate that form in the Champions League next term.

Total market value - £73.398
