Celtic could actually pocket up to £20m in the deal that took Odsonne Edouard to Crystal Palace on deadline day, according to Football Insider.
The Lowdown: Sky Sports claim
Edouard finally sealed a Parkhead exit he has been working on since April with hours remaining of the window, signing a four-year deal at Selhurst Park.
The Hoops brought in a striker of their own in Georgios Giakoumakis from VVV-Venlo.
Sky Sports claimed that a transfer for Edouard cost Patrick Vieira’s side an initial £14m that could rise to £18.5m. However, it seems as if it could be more than that, which is good news for Dominic McKay and Ange Postecoglou.
The Latest: Source shares Wednesday update
Football Insider shared a story on Wednesday after being informed by a Celtic source.
They suggested that a move for Edouard has actually cost Palace £15m which could end up totalling £20m with various add-ons.
The report adds that Celtic will now have to hand Paris Saint-Germain 30% of profits made on Edouard.
The Verdict: A good window
Celtic have brought in 12 summer signings and have come out with a profit, as per Transfermarkt.
The site suggests that the Hoops have forked out just over £20m on incomings and have received £31.59m in departures over recent months.
It seems as if that figure could well rise in the future with add-ons for Edouard, so overall, it appears to have been a productive window for McKay and co, rebuilding a squad in desperate need of a freshen-up with money to spare.
