It looks like Celtic’s Olivier Ntcham is going nowhere in the January transfer window.
Even though there had been a little hope from the Portuguese press about Porto’s chase for the player, the move now sounds highly unlikely with just two days to the end of the market.
Newspaper A Bola writes today that Celtic are ‘demanding too much’ for the midfielder, so even though the Frenchman is Porto’s priority target for midfield, they can’t afford the move.
The Hoops are called ‘inflexible, even though they are out of the Champions League and relegated to the Europa League’.
A Bola doesn’t mention the amount demanded by Celtic now, but they had claimed on Monday it was €20m.
With Ntcham looking impossible to sign, Porto are set to turn their attention to other alternatives and try to get a deal done before the end of the transfer window.
