# Celtic: Sheffield United yet to receive offers for George Baldock

**Sheffield United are yet to receive any concrete offers for reported Celtic target George Baldock, according to [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/2706447/2021/07/15/sheffield-united-transfers-loans-for-budding-premier-league-talent-and-ronaldo-vieira-interest/).**

### The Lowdown: Baldock links

Baldock, who was [wanted by Neil Lennon back in 2019](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/george-baldock-profiled-celtic-target-16263721), has [emerged on the Hoops’ radar once again](https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-united/sheffield-united-celtic-will-adopt-this-increasingly-familiar-tactic-if-they-decide-to-firm-up-their-interest-in-george-baldock-3292516) this month.

[Reports](https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-united/sheffield-united-celtic-will-adopt-this-increasingly-familiar-tactic-if-they-decide-to-firm-up-their-interest-in-george-baldock-3292516) suggested that Celtic would be willing to pay £5-8m for the 28-year-old, who has just [12 months left](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/george-baldock/profil/spieler/146690) on his [£10,000-a-week](https://footballleaguefc.com/sheffield-united-2020-21-player-wages/) Bramall Lane deal.

Recent [stories](https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-united/sheffield-united-celtic-set-to-adopt-a-familiar-tactic-in-their-pursuit-of-george-baldock-3301325) have claimed that Baldock is on a list of potential right-back targets, with Ange Postecoglou spending days watching footage of those targets.

He’s [reportedly](https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-united/sheffield-united-celtic-set-to-adopt-a-familiar-tactic-in-their-pursuit-of-george-baldock-3301325) approved a potential deal for Baldock, however, it doesn’t look as if Celtic have made an official bid as of yet.

### The Latest: No offers

[The Athletic’s Richard Sutcliffe](https://theathletic.com/2706447/2021/07/15/sheffield-united-transfers-loans-for-budding-premier-league-talent-and-ronaldo-vieira-interest/) shared a story regarding the Blades’ transfer business on Friday.

He addressed both incomings and outgoings, admitting ‘there have been no concrete offers’ for Baldock – an interesting six-word update as you’d think Celtic may have made their move going off recent reports.

### The Verdict: Celtic looking abroad?

Since Celtic’s interest in Baldock came out at the beginning of the month, the Hoops have been linked to two right-backs from Ligue 1 side Rennes.

[Brandon Soppy](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1413955543836856324) and [Sacha Boey](https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/sport/19440511.amp/?__twitter_impression=true) are the full-backs in question, so perhaps the Hoops are looking to explore the European market over a swoop for Baldock.

It could make perfect sense, especially with [Baldock not looking to depart Yorkshire](https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-united/sheffield-united-celtic-set-to-adopt-a-familiar-tactic-in-their-pursuit-of-george-baldock-3301325). Right-backs are required at Celtic Park before the new season, but at this moment in time, a move for Baldock appears unlikely.
