# Celtic: Norwich set to make improved Kris Ajer bid

**Norwich City are set to make an improved bid for Celtic defender Kristoffer Ajer, according to [Scott Burns of The Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/kris-ajer-new-norwich-transfer-24458729.amp?__twitter_impression=true).**

### The Lowdown: Ajer unhappy

Ajer has [made it clear he would like to leave Parkhead this summer](https://twitter.com/arilasos/status/1400733868735488001), however, the Hoops have actually rejected two generous offers for a player who has just [12 months left on his contract](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kristoffer-ajer/profil/spieler/328658).

Bayer Leverkusen and Norwich have both had bids in the region of [£10m turned down](https://theathletic.co.uk/2672914/2021/06/25/ajers-hopes-of-leaving-celtic-in-doubt-as-club-reject-10m-bids-from-leverkusen-and-norwich/?amp), with Ajer unhappy over the way his future is being handled.

The 23-year-old, who was hailed as [‘Cafu-like’ by former Celtic goalkeeper Pat Bonner in 2019](https://tbrfootball.com/bbc-sport-pundits-lavish-praise-on-cafu-like-celtic-defender-kristoffer-ajer/), is still wanted by the Canaries.

### The Latest: £12m bid

[Burns shared a story on Ajer on Sunday evening](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/kris-ajer-new-norwich-transfer-24458729.amp?__twitter_impression=true), claiming Norwich are set to go back in with a renewed offer in the region of £12m.

The Canaries are also willing to include future add-ons included in a deal, with Ajer a long-term target for Daniel Farke’s side.

### The Verdict: Sell

It seems as if Ajer is becoming increasingly unsettled in Glasgow and would welcome a move away ahead of the new campaign.

The Hoops are at risk of losing Ajer on a free transfer in January with a potential pre-contract agreement, should his situation remain the same, so it would make sense to accept a £12m offer and reinvest in defensive additions.

Ajer’s [Transfermarkt valuation stands at £6.3m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kristoffer-ajer/profil/spieler/328658), so Celtic could end up receiving more than twice that figure with add-ons in a possible transfer to Carrow Road, a good deal all things considered.
