# Celtic: Source drops Christopher Scott update

**[The Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/christopher-scott-celtic-transfer-fee-26590550) have provided an update on Celtic’s pursuit of Bayern Munich teenager Christopher Scott.**

### The Lowdown: Scott links

Celtic appear to be making a head start on their summer business, with links of a move for Scott emerging earlier this week.

Sky Sports Germany’s [Florian Plettenberg](https://twitter.com/Plettigoal/status/1508474494851194883) revealed that the Hoops have held talks over a swoop for the 19-year-old, with Premier League side Brentford also following suit.

Scott, an attacking midfielder who can also play as a central midfielder or second striker, has contributed to [eight](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christopher-scott/leistungsdaten/spieler/503162) goals in [13](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christopher-scott/leistungsdaten/spieler/503162) games for Bayern’s reserve side but does have [two](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christopher-scott/leistungsdaten/spieler/503162) senior appearances for the German giants to his name.

### The Latest: Source drops update

[The Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/christopher-scott-celtic-transfer-fee-26590550) shared a story regarding Scott on Wednesday after being informed by a source close to the negotiations.

Bayern aren’t willing to let the teenager go on a free transfer and it would cost around €300,000 to €400,000 for his services.

A move to Scotland has been described as a ‘massive option’, with the source revealing that ‘Celtic are serious contenders’ in the race for Scott’s services.

### The Verdict: Heating up…

It looks as if Ange Postecoglou and Michael Nicholson are extremely keen on bringing Scott to Scotland, and a fee appears to be well in the club’s price range.

He wants to play [regular](https://twitter.com/Plettigoal/status/1508474494851194883) senior football, something Celtic may well be able to offer more of compared to both Bayern and Brentford.

Winning the Premiership and guaranteeing Champions League football could also be a huge factor in a possible move, so it seems as if a summer swoop does have legs following initial rumours.
