Christopher Jullien is set to complete a move away from Celtic today in order to join Bundesliga side Schalke.
And it’s been reported the transfer will be an initial loan deal with an option to buy. Jullien has struggled with injuries in recent years after a promising start to life at Parkhead. And he is now in the process of completing a medical before he signs the dotted line in Germany while Celtic step up their hunt for a new centre-back.
The 29-year-old has one year left on his deal at the Hoops and is likely to have played his last game for the champions if Schalke exercise their option to buy that football transfer guru Fabrizio Romano reports is included in the deal. French pair Rennes and Lorient were also said to have an interest in Jullien, who Ange Postecoglou clearly doesn’t rate.
