# Celtic: Milan could offer Laxalt in Edouard deal

**Celtic could be offered cash plus loanee Diego Laxalt on a permanent basis in a deal for striker Odsonne Edouard this summer.**

That’s according to Italian outlet [Corriere dello Sport](https://www.corrieredellosport.it/), cited by [Sports Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/club-considering-deal-celtic-star-exchange-economic-adjustment-favour-parkhead-side/), who claim that Milan view Edouard as a possible option to challenge Zlatan Ibrahimovic next season.

### No Laxalt option for Celtic

Laxalt, on [£57,000-a-week](https://salarysport.com/football/player/diego-laxalt/), has made [25](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/diego-laxalt/leistungsdaten/spieler/230552) appearances for the Hoops during his season-long loan, scoring [once](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/diego-laxalt/leistungsdaten/spieler/230552).

There’s [no option to make a move permanent](https://www.skysports.com/app/transfer/news/12691/12091032/diego-laxalt-ac-milan-left-back-joins-celtic-on-season-long-loan) for the left-back, however, it seems as if the Italian giants could test Celtic’s resolve with a cash bid for Edouard involving the [Uruguay international](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/diego-laxalt/profil/spieler/230552).

### Transfer Tavern take

Edouard, on [£19,000-a-week](https://salarysport.com/football/player/odsonne-edouard/) in Glasgow, will have just [12 months left on his Celtic contract in the summer](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/odsonne-edouard/profil/spieler/344152).

The Frenchman reportedly [wants to quit the club this summer, regardless of who comes in as Neil Lennon’s successor](https://www.footballinsider247.com/edouard-wants-out-regardless-of-new-celtic-manager-appointment/), so it would be interesting to see how much cash Milan would be willing to offer alongside Laxalt.

Going off Transfermarkt valuations, Edouard is worth [£13.5m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/odsonne-edouard/profil/spieler/344152), whereas Laxalt’s market value sits at [£3.6m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/diego-laxalt/profil/spieler/230552). Based on that, could Milan offer around £10m? Only time will tell.
