Dutch club VVV Venlo are desperate for Giorgos Giakoumakis to seal his big money exit from Celtic – and land a bumper windfall.
The Greek striker is poised to move to the MLS with Atlanta United, instead of a switch to Japan with Urawa Red Diamonds. But the American transfer window still has 12 weeks to run. VVV would be due a 15 per cent sell-on when he leaves Celtic, with the fee around the £4.3million mark. This would see them rake in a huge bonus after selling him 18 months ago.
And the club's general manager Marco Boogers revealed: "It will take a long time before there is clarity. I've seen so many clubs be mentioned this month and still, nothing is known for certain. Everything is just gossip. It's history repeating itself when he left us because there were also a lot of rumours about interest in him flying about.
