# Celtic: Liverpool withdraw Edouard interest

**Liverpool have withdrawn their interest in Celtic’s Odsonne Edouard, with a recent report revealing the striker’s phone call with Jurgen Klopp.**

According to [Anfield Central](https://www.anfieldcentral.co.uk/posts/liverpool-no-longer-interested-in-odsonne-edouard/), a deal for Edouard this summer depended on current Reds forward Divock Origi moving in the other direction.

However, the Belgian isn’t thought to be keen on a move to Celtic Park over the coming months.

The [report](https://www.anfieldcentral.co.uk/posts/liverpool-no-longer-interested-in-odsonne-edouard/) also adds that Edouard feels he wouldn’t recieve enough game time at Anfield and wasn’t sold on a move to Merseyside after talking to Klopp.

### Transfer Tavern take

To us, this is a double transfer blow for the Hoops. Not only will they not be receiving Origi as part of a possible swap deal, but it’s also now one less side interested in Edouard.

That could be crucial over the coming months, especially with [Edouard entering the final 12 months of his Celtic deal in the summer](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/odsonne-edouard/profil/spieler/344152).

It feels quite inevitable that a player of his quality and potential will eventually depart, so Celtic could do with as many clubs as possible making a move for the Frenchman, which could result in the Hoops receiving a healthy sum thanks to a bidding war.

However, should just one or two sides launch a bid for Edouard, the forward may depart for a fee around [£8-10m – a figure the player’s representative feel he could leave for](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-edouard-could-quit-celtic-for-just-8m-amid-unexpected-new-twist/). That would be a huge disappointment and a disservice to the work the Hoops have done in developing Edouard from prospect into star performer.
