Report: Celtic want AEK goalkeeper Vasilios Barkas
According to Greek website Sdna, Celtic are keen on signing AEK Athens goalkeeper Vasilios Barkas this summer with their sporting director Nick Hammond working hard to land him.
With uncertainty growing over a deal for Fraser Forster, it appears the Hoops have a contingency plan in place.
The Southampton goalie spent the season on loan at Parkhead, and while the Hoops will love to retain his services, his £70,000-a-week wages could hinder a deal from happening as the coronavirus pandemic has affected their finances.
Signing Forster permanently is also off the cards as a Premier League player with two years left on his deal won’t come cheap.
