# Celtic: Klimala set for USA medical

**Celtic striker Patryk Klimala has flown out to the United States to undergo a medical ahead of a permanent move to New York Red Bulls, and the Hoops could actually make a profit on his sale.**

That’s according to a report from [The Scottish Sun](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/6967497/celtic-klimala-jets-out-new-york-red-bulls-deal/), who claim that the 22-year-old is set to pen a long-term deal with the MLS side when a visa application is granted.

### Klimala’s exit imminent

Klimala was initially expected to have his medical in Austria, however, he has headed to the States instead to finalise the final stages of a transfer.

The Hoops signed the [Poland Under-21 international](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/patryk-klimala/profil/spieler/387153) from [Jagiellonia Bialystok last January](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/patryk-klimala/transfers/spieler/387153). Klimala has struggled in Glasgow, though, scoring just [three times in 28 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/patryk-klimala/leistungsdaten/spieler/387153).

### Transfer Tavern take

Reports from [The Scottish Sun](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/6963339/celtic-patryk-klimala-permanent-move-new-york-red-bulls/) previously stated that the Hoops could end up recouping the £3.5m fee they paid for the striker last year.

However, their latest [report](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/6967497/celtic-klimala-jets-out-new-york-red-bulls-deal/) now claims that Celtic may eventually be pocketing more than that figure.

If that is the case, we see a deal as a no brainer. Klimala, who Callum McGregor said looked[‘really strong’](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/5742504/celtic-mcgregor-klimala-bulked-up-raring-to-go/) prior to the start of the season, has never put in the consistent displays of a big-money signing.

He’s been the club’s worst Scottish Premiership performer this season for players who have made more than three appearances, as per [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/103/Show/Scotland-Celtic).

Klimala has averaged a match rating of just [6.36/10](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/103/Show/Scotland-Celtic), so we can’t blame the Hoops for cashing in on the forward at this moment in time.
