Hammarby have reportedly set a minimum price they are willing to release Bazoumana Toure for…
The Ivory Coast winger has attracted interest from major suitors across European football with his performances for the Swedish club of late and now it is being reported that the Nordic outfit have a price that would be the absolute minimum they would release the youngster for.
The 18-year-old has scored 8 goals and 3 assists so far in the Allsvenskan and it has alerted the attention of numerous clubs. Celtic have been previously credited with an interest in the Ivorian but that is another one that still remains a mystery in terms of how concrete the interest actually is. English Premier League side Brighton were said to be closely monitoring the team too, with a bid supposedly close.
Well known publication, Fotbolldirekt, have claimed that a bid for the forward is expected any day now and that the minimum pricing for the African talent is 100 million Swedish Krona, which equates to around £7.3 million. The same report also confirms that bid is expected by the Hammarby management any day now and also name-checked Celtic along with the likes of RB Leipzig, Tottenham, Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich.
With Celtic already in the process of bringing in Jota to the club for a sensational homecoming, the attention would turn to replacing the outgoing Kyogo Furuhashi, who’s move to French side Rennes should be rubber-stamped imminently.
Although Brendan Rodgers did say that he could be looking at possibly two wingers, it’s hard to imagine the club willing to bring in another at this point with Daizen Maeda already covering the left side to be joined by Jota.
