Crucial Adam Idah Celtic Contract Detail
Celtic have made a major statement of intent as they close in on re-signing Adam Idah from Norwich City in a deal that could be worth up to £9.5 million, a new club record. The 23-year-old striker, who impressed during a loan spell last season, is now set to commit his future to Celtic in what is being hailed as a significant coup for the Scottish champions.
Negotiations for Idah’s return have been ongoing for much of the summer, with Celtic initially offering £4 million, which was swiftly rejected by Norwich. However, the club’s persistence has paid off, with the deal finally being agreed at an initial £8.5 million fee, supplemented by £1 million in potential performance-related add-ons. In addition, Norwich City have secured a 15% sell-on clause, ensuring they benefit from any future transfer. [Connor Southwell]
Idah played a crucial role in Celtic’s success last season, netting nine goals in 19 appearances, including a decisive strike in the Scottish Cup final. His return comes at a crucial time, with Celtic needing reinforcements up front due to ongoing injury concerns with Kyogo Furuhashi.
The significant aspect of this deal isn’t just the transfer fee, though. It’s the long-term commitment from both player and club. CeltsAreHere understands that Idah will sign a five-year contract, tying him to Celtic until 2030. This deal not only provides Celtic with stability in their forward line but also indicates the club’s long-term vision and trust in Idah’s abilities to lead the attack.
With a medical scheduled in the coming days, Idah’s signing is expected to be officially confirmed soon, marking the beginning of a new chapter at Celtic Park. All going well he could be in the squad for the cup Game vs Hibs.
