Celtic transfer news as Bernardo contract demand named and Frimpong payday rises

Celtic are "unlikely" to bring back Paulo Bernardo on a permanent transfer with reports emerging over the midfielder's bumper Benfica contract.

Celtic held an option to buy in the loan agreement but have been locked in talks with the Lisbon giants to negotiate that price tag down. However, it now appears that the salary demands of the Portuguese U21 international has put the deal on the rocks with Correio da Manhã claiming Celtic "would need a very good offer to convince him to give up on what he gets from Benfica".

While the Bernardo deal may be up in the air, it looks like a certainty Jeremie Frimpong will bank a bumper payday for the Scottish champions. The Bayer Leverkusen star is being chased by clubs across Europe – with Celtic set to bank 30 per cent of any sale.
