Celtic: Fans would be willing to see Kristoffer Ajer sold amid reports of £22.5m asking price

Defender Kristoffer Ajer has been linked with many clubs recently and it seems that a lot of Celtic fans would not mind him being sold as long as it is for the price that has been quoted in some reports.

It was reported by 90min.com that Premier League side Leicester City were leading to race to sign the centre-back, although they face a lot of competition from Manchester City, Wolves, Everton, Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund.

However, the recent news from Calciomercato, via celticbible, suggests that whilst Leicester, PSG and Real Madrid remain interested, AC Milan are ready to step up their pursuit of the centre-back with the Hoops demanding €25m (£22.5m).

It is understandable to see why so many clubs want to sign the 22 year-old. He has won five domestic cups and three league titles since joining Celtic and has recorded 70 clean sheets in 129 games for the club, highlighting how hard he is to get past for opposition attackers when at his best.

For £22.5m, though, the Hoops could bring in a few players to strengthen their squad as they aim to become the first team in Scottish football to win 10 successive Premiership titles, via talkSPORT. Also, there has been widespread criticism of his decline in form this season from many Celtic fans, via Glasgow Live.

Here is what these Hoops fans had to say following the transfer update:

TBH would he really be much of a loss ? He’s vastly overrated – keeps making the same mistakes. If we get silly money for him I’m sure we could buy somebody better. Your Centre half SHOULD be able to header a ball at least
