Bayern Munich Planning £30m Move for Celtic Striker With Chelsea Also Interested

Published on: 18 February 2017

Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich are planning a £30m summer move for Celtic striker Moussa Dembele, according tothe Mirror.


The 20-year-old is also reportedly a target for a number of Premier League clubs, including Antonio Conte's league leaders Chelsea.


West Ham also attempted to sign the highly rated forward in January, but clubs in England are now likely to face competition from German giants Bayern.

Dembele signed a four-and-a-half year contract with Celtic having arrived from Championship side Fulham where he made his breakthrough.


The Frenchman has scored 26 goals in 40 games in all competitions for the SPL leaders, and has attracted wide interest in the process.


Dembele was last month reportedly valued at £40m by the Bhoys, and has since scored seven times in three games with hat-tricks against St Johnstone and Inverness.


The allure of signing for one of Europe's biggest clubs, however, may be difficult for the young striker to turn down.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers earlier this month claimed that Dembele was up there with some of the best players he has coached in his career to date.


"He's got huge potential,� he said - viathe Daily Star."He's just turned 20 years of age. I've worked with some really top young talents.


I took [Philippe] Coutinho from Inter Milan at 19, [Raheem] Sterling at 17, Suso I put in the [Liverpool] team and he's at AC Milan now.


"He's certainly up there with the big talents. He has a fantastic mentality which helps him. He has talent but he's also very focused on being a footballer."
