# Celtic: Hoops discover Fausto Vera asking price

**[Celtic](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/celtic-news/) have discovered the asking price required to sign Argentinos Juniors midfielder Fausto Vera this summer, according to a report from Brazilian outlet [Lance](https://www.lance.com.br/corinthians/para-liberar-fausto-vera-argentinos-juniors-quer-valor-maior-do-que-o-oferecido-pelo-corinthians.html).**

### The lowdown: Hoops interested

Following initial tentative links from South America citing the Hoops as potential suitors for Vera, journalist Fraser Fletcher took to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/FrazFletcher/status/1546555104744144896?s=20&t=2ieAujswyUk2XfdOaiUrIg) to confirm the admiration from the Glasgow giants.

Unfortunately for the Bhoys’ chances, there is also [interest](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/celtic-handed-fausto-vera-transfer-27460259) forthcoming from Belgian side Genk and Brazilian outfit Corinthians, as the 22-year-old Argentina youth international suddenly looks like hot property.

Amidst the battle to land the combative midfielder, a fresh report from Brazil has now shed some light on what it may cost in order to prize Vera away…

### The latest: Price revealed

As per [Lance](https://www.lance.com.br/corinthians/para-liberar-fausto-vera-argentinos-juniors-quer-valor-maior-do-que-o-oferecido-pelo-corinthians.html), Argentinos Juniors ‘want’ at least €6.5million (£5.5million) for the [eight-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fausto-vera/nationalmannschaft/spieler/491701/verein_id/52540) Argentina Under 23 starlet.

It’s claimed that the Argentine Primera Division club have already rejected bids from Genk and Corinthians of around €4million (£3.4million) during the ongoing transfer window.

The report also suggests that the two other suitors could return with improved offers for the playmaker, who has recently taken his game to [‘another level’](https://twitter.com/chaka_simbeye/status/1546173972772945921) according to football writer Chaka Simbeye.

### The verdict: Pay up

In the final 12 months of a contract in his homeland ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fausto-vera/marktwertverlauf/spieler/491701)), the mooted asking price is already reflective of a need to cash in on the talented youngster and Celtic should waste no time in meeting the demands.

Predominantly operating as a defensive-minded midfielder during the 2021/22 campaign, Vera [scored four times and provided three assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fausto-vera/leistungsdaten/spieler/491701) in 24 appearances across all competitions, earning an outstanding 7.13 [Sofascore](https://www.sofascore.com/player/fausto-vera/930690) rating whilst winning 5.1 duels, completing 1.0 dribble and making 1.4 interceptions on average per Argentinian top-flight outing.

That stellar form, combined with still possessing the room to develop further, makes the young ace a superb potential addition to Ange Postecoglou’s ranks as a [replacement](https://news.stv.tv/sport/tom-rogic-and-nir-bitton-to-leave-celtic-at-end-of-season) for Nir Bitton.

This is a deal that the Parkhead hierarchy should be doing everything in their power to make a reality.
