# Celtic: Hoops set to lose Jack Hendry

**Celtic are set to lose defender Jack Hendry this summer, with Belgian side KV Oostende planning to make his move permanent.**

That’s according to an exclusive report from [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/celtic-powerless-to-stop-hendry-leaving/), who claimed that Oostende will activate their £1.75m clause to sign Hendry long-term.

### Premier League interest in Hendry

The likes of Aston Villa, Brighton, Burnley, Crystal Palace, Leicester City, Newcastle United, West Ham and Wolves have all been credited with an [interest](https://www.90min.com/posts/celtic-miss-out-transfer-fee-over-jack-hendry) in the 25-year-old recently, with a [£10m fee being touted](https://www.90min.com/posts/celtic-miss-out-transfer-fee-over-jack-hendry).

However, [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/celtic-powerless-to-stop-hendry-leaving/) believe that the fee would likely be half that sum at £5m, still resulting in a nice profit for the Belgian side.

### Transfer Tavern talk

The Hoops signed Hendry for [£1.44m back in 2018 from Dundee](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-hendry/transfers/spieler/363223). It seems as if they’ll make a £310,000 profit on the central defender, but it could have been so much more for the Parkhead club.

It appears as if a £5m move to England could materialise ahead of the 2021/22 campaign, meaning Celtic will have to watch on and miss out on a potential £3.56m profit had they shown more patience with him.

Hendry, who has made [23](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-hendry/leistungsdaten/spieler/363223) Jupiler Pro League appearances this season, was still under contract at Celtic until [2022](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-hendry/profil/spieler/363223). However, due to the inclusion of the aforementioned clause, it looks as if he’ll be moving on for good over the coming months.
