# Expert predicts Celtic will not meet Rennes’ price tag for Brandon Soppy

**[Get French Football News’](https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/) Adam White has hinted Celtic may baulk at Rennes’ £4.25million price tag for Brandon Soppy.**

Highly-rated teenage right-back Soppy broke into Rennes’ first-team last season and made [11 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/brandon-soppy/leistungsdaten/spieler/546880/plus/0?saison=2020) for the French outfit.

According to French media outlet [L’Equipe](https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Watford-et-l-udinese-interesses-par-le-rennais-brandon-soppy/1271127), Soppy has entered the final 12 months of his contract and been the subject of interest from Scottish Premiership giants Celtic.

But the report claims Celtic are not Soppy’s only suitors, with newly-promoted Premier League outfit Watford and Udinese, of Serie A, also keen on the talented youngster.

The 19-year-old has won [five caps](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/brandon-soppy/nationalmannschaft/spieler/546880/verein_id/25250) for France’s under-18 side and, with him liking to get forward to create chances, could give new Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou an exciting full-back alternative.

Having made a disastrous start to the new season by already [crashing out](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57972180) of the Champions League and [losing](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57951053) their opening Scottish Premiership clash of the campaign at Hearts, Celtic have bounced back by [beating](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58007178) Jablonec in the first leg of their Europa League qualifier and [hitting](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58044205) Dundee for six.

But French football expert [White](https://twitter.com/_adam_white_?lang=en) believes Soppy may not be heading to Parkhead as they look to build on their return to form.

He told The Transfer Tavern: *“Soppy would be an interesting signing for Celtic. They made a €1.5million bid last summer and lots of clubs are keen.*

*“Roma and Spartak Moscow were interested in January and Udinese and Watford want him at the moment.*

*“Rennes want €5million for him, which is probably quite a high fee for Celtic to spend on a young, unproven player like him.”*
