Celtic transfer diary as Paulo Bernardo follows Jota pathway and time runs out for Karamoko Dembele

It could be a jam-packed transfer window for Ange Posecgolou this summer.

However, the 20-year-old has reportedly turned down the deal and wants to remain in the Primeira Liga next term.

Speaking of loan moves, Celtic fans are desperate to see a Cameron Carter-Vickers return with a flag raised over his head to announce a permanent transfer.

But as it stands he has other targets while he is on international duty.
