Schlupp is currently undergoing his medical ahead of signing his contract, with Celtic agreeing to cover a substantial portion of his wages to finalize the deal, as reported by Scott Burns of RecordSport.
The former Leicester City player was eager to move to Parkhead for the chance to compete for silverware and experience Champions League football.
With Celtic set to face Bayern Munich, Schlupp will bring valuable experience and depth to Brendan Rodgers’ squad.
Schlupp’s versatility, allowing him to play as a left-back, left-winger, or central midfielder, makes him a key asset for Rodgers, particularly with Adam Montgomery expected to leave on loan and Kieran Tierney’s arrival delayed until the summer.
Celtic will now shift their focus to securing a striker. It’s disappointing that there are no concrete links to a forward with just two and a half hours remaining in the transfer window.
Kyogo departed two weeks ago, and the club had been aware of his impending exit for several months.
Celtic will now be scrambling at the last minute to try and strike a deal, though it remains unclear who their target might be.
You have to admit, it’s been a disappointing window.
