# Celtic: Insider drops Cameron Carter-Vickers claim

**Transfer insider Dean Jones has made a claim on Celtic’s permanent pursuit of defender Cameron Carter-Vickers, [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/87984754-celtic-10m-star-very-keen-on-hoops-transfer) report.**

### The Lowdown: Option to buy

The Hoops secured the 24-year-old’s services on deadline day last summer, arriving on a season-long loan which includes an [option to buy](https://twitter.com/CelticFC/status/1432839838974287875).

[Reports](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/cameron-carter-vickers-celtic-transfer-25581601) have since claimed the finances involved for the centre-back could total £10m after an initial £6m fee with two separate add-ons.

Should that be the case, the USA international would become the club’s [most expensive signing of all time](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-glasgow/transferrekorde/verein/371), surpassing a £9.27m fee for Odsonne Edouard.

### The Latest: Jones’ claim

Talking to [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/87984754-celtic-10m-star-very-keen-on-hoops-transfer), Jones believes the centre-back is ‘very keen’ on a permanent Parkhead move and described the potential record transfer as ‘realistic’.

> “I think that Carter-Vickers is very keen, because he feels like he can become part of the project there long-term, and I think it’s one that is realistic to be honest.”

This comes after [Alex McLeish suggested](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/celtic-news/celtic-alex-mcleish-reacts-to-cameron-carter-vickers-update/) that qualification for the Champions League could be the deciding factor.

### The Verdict: CCV found a permanent home in Glasgow?

Carter-Vickers has been a regular under Ange Postecoglou in what has been an impressive season, with a domestic treble still on the cards.

He has now turned out in green and white on [36](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/cameron-carter-vickers/leistungsdaten/spieler/341049) occasions – making more appearances for the Hoops than any other of his seven clubs.

On that basis, you’d like to think he has found a full-time home in Glasgow, but it seems as if Celtic will need to write a big cheque for a player who is valued at just £2.7m by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/cameron-carter-vickers/profil/spieler/341049) – could a league title and Champions League qualification be the key factor?
