Celtic has to regret lost the “amazing” star for £ 0

There are a few more months of the season to play, but Celtic It may already have one eye on what they want to do in the summer transfer window.

The hoops are already 16 points from the Renjer in second place in Scotland Prime Minister The table, which suggests that it is when they are crowned with champions for the fourth year.

The Scottish giants have already won the League Cup, beating the Rangers on penalties in the first half of the season, and recently Bayern Munich knocked it out of the Champions League on the Play-off stage.

This means that the SFA Cup is the last competition to which they have to focus all their efforts to ensure that they win the domestic tonka this term.

Kelt can then fully draw attention to the summer window. However, they have already completed one signature, and Kieran Tierney was supposed to arrive at a free transfer.

Kieran Tierney’s Blummety Market Value

The hoops have agreed before the contract With Scotland International to sign him for nothing after his contract with Arsenal at the end of this season.

Tierney will return for the second magic to Parkhead six years since his move to the Premier League for the reported Scottish Record £ 25 million transfer fee In the summer of 2019.

The left leg defender, as shown on the upper graphic, enjoyed great time in Glasgow after passing through the Academy system, winning five league titles before his big money moved to Emirates.

Unfortunately, however, Tierney’s time down to the south was not exactly planned and now on his way to returning to Celtic worth less than £ 25m, which they sold him more than half a decade ago.

As you can see in the table above, the market estimate of the 27-year-old on Transfermarkt has reduced only £ 8m, £ 17m less than the fee paid by Arsenal paid.

Injuries played a significant role in his declining player value. Tierney has missed 17 or more matches Through injuries in five of his six seasons since he started the hoop – it was missing 39 from the beginning of the 2023/24 campaign.

His falling market value means that he is no longer the most valuable graduate former Celtic Academy, although he has sold for a club fee for a record and a record fee for a Scottish player, back in 2019.

Celtic’s most valuable former Academy

The Scottish giants have produced fantastic talents over the years, including the current Callum McGregor Captain Captain, but not everyone has fulfilled their potential during their stay in Parkhead.

McGregor, in fact, took fifth place on the list of the most valuable former academy players currently playing, According to Transfermarttuwith a value of £ 6 million.

Therefore, it is behind Tierney – with £ 8m – but there are two former Celtic young ones, who have never appeared the first team for the club, which are currently worth more than both.

As you can see in the table above, both Aaron Hickey and Andy Robertson are worth more than twice as much as Tierney and Liverpool, as well as Ben Doak, as well as worth significantly more than McGregor.

The disappointing part of this is, however, that – as mentioned already – none of them made their older ports during the hoop, because they were relaxed before their emergence at the level of the first team.

Celtic can regret that things have fallen with these two players because they have failed to see them fulfilling their potential in Parkhead, and they may lose Hickey on a free transfer.

Kelt has to regret losing Aaron Hickey

Scotland International, which can be played with right or left back, spent four years At the Club Academy before rejecting the opportunity to remain in favor of moving to Hearts, where he began his career at a young age.

Speaking of his time in ParkheadHickey said, “I started at Hearts when I was really young – I would be about ten when I joined and stayed until the age of 12. Then I went to Celtic because it was my boyish club. I went there for four years.

“Celtic offered me a contract, but I didn’t play much. I thought it would be a better opportunity to play in my hearts.”

This suggests that at the time, the academy chiefs did not see his potential as a player, since he did not get the time of the game he wanted, and for that reason they lost him for £ 0 at Hearts as a teenager.

Hickey, who was called “amazing” by manager Steven Naismith, he returned to the jam in his stomach in Summer 2018 and debuted the first team in the Scottish Prime Minister in the 2018/19 campaign, before Playing 22 times In the Department of the following campaign.

His form earned him a transition to Bologna in a series A, scoring five times in 47 league matches and Brentford cracked him for a Reported fee of £ 14 million. That move broke their Club-Record of £ 13.5 million For Cristoffer Ajera, signed from the Celtics.

22-year-old star has only Played 35 times For Brentford since its relocation in 2022, Missing 74 matches through injuries but that did not stop his market Value of an increase of up to £ 18 million.

Celtic must, therefore, regret that he did not give him a more chance at the level of young people to progress through the ranks, because they missed the player whose value increased during his stay at Hearts and Bologna, before selling millions more than Tierney is now valid.
