# Celtic: Hoops set to sign Joe Hart

**Celtic look set to sign Joe Hart from Tottenham, with transfer expert [Fabrizio Romano](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1422297380435673089) labelling it a ‘done deal’.**

### The Lowdown: Hart to Celtic links

[Romano](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1420310782491889666) was the man to break the news of the Hoops’ interest last week.

[Reports](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-celtic-offering-to-make-hart-their-top-earner-to-lure-him-by-friday/) since have suggested that Celtic were ready to make Hart their top earner on £35,000-a-week and wanted a deal tied up by Friday.

The 34-year-old’s Spurs deal is thought to be worth [£30,000-a-week](https://salarysport.com/football/player/joe-hart/), but Romano’s late-night post on Monday put to bed the rumours regarding Hart becoming Celtic’s highest earner.

A deal for Hart, along with former Crystal Palace midfielder James McCarthy, has now been [officially confirmed](https://twitter.com/CelticFC/status/1422573341035139073) by Celtic.

### The Latest: Romano’s three magic words

[Romano](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1422297380435673089), who was also on the ball when it came to [Carl Starfelt](https://twitter.com/fabrizioromano/status/1416475125952745476)’s move to Celtic last month, revealed that Hart is set to be on £15,000-a-week at Parkhead.

The expert stamped his famous [‘here we go’](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1422297380435673089) in his post. Romano also added a line on right-back Aurelio Buta, admitting Celtic are still working on a potential deal.

> “Done deal and here-we-go. Joe Hart joins Celtic on a permanent deal from Tottenham, £15k per week as salary. Medical and official announcement this week. Confirmed as advanced one week ago… and Celtic are still working on Buta as new fullback option.”

### The Verdict: What now for Barkas, Bain and Hazard?

With Hart now a Hoops player, Ange Postecoglou may well have to ship out one of Vasilis Barkas, Scott Bain or Conor Hazard.

Journalist [Giannis Chorianopoulos](https://twitter.com/choria80/status/1421473623919976455) claimed ‘everything is on the table’ when it comes to Barkas, with the Hoops set to demand a loan fee for the 27-year-old, should they allow him to leave on a temporary basis.

Hazard has also been [linked](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/conor-hazard-could-leave-celtic-24441773) with a loan exit this summer with Dundee, so it may well be Barkas or Hazard making way following Hart’s arrival.
