Paderborn turn down Celtic's £4m bid for Baur - gossip

What the report says

BBC Sport Football’s Scottish gossip roundup reports that SC Paderborn have rejected a Celtic offer worth about £4m for Mika Baur. The item, citing the Glasgow Times, says Paderborn sporting director Sebastian Lange confirmed the bid for the 22-year-old midfielder had been turned down.

The same roundup points to several other reported Celtic transfer developments. It cites Anthony Joseph on X as saying Bodo/Glimt striker Kasper Hogh has travelled to the UK ahead of a proposed £11m switch to the Scottish champions, with a medical expected on Monday. Hogh is described in the report as a 25-year-old Denmark international.

BBC Sport also highlights mixed claims around Celtic’s pursuit of Real Oviedo winger Haissem Hassan. Some cited reports say the 24-year-old Egypt winger has agreed personal terms or a four-year deal, while other reporting says fee add-ons remain unresolved. The roundup notes conflicting accounts, including the Daily Record’s position that suggestions of a full agreement are inaccurate, and another claim that Celtic may return with an offer close to £4.7m after an earlier £3.4m bid was rejected.

The digest also includes Rangers-related transfer notes, including a report that Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi has suggested winger Mikey Moore could leave again after last season’s Rangers loan, and a claim that Vanja Dragojevic chose Rangers over several European clubs. As this is a gossip roundup, the developments remain dependent on the named outlets and individuals cited by BBC Sport rather than confirmed club announcements, except where expressly attributed to a club official.
