CELTIC FAILED IN BID FOR DEFENDER

Napoli defender Amir Rrahmani has revealed how Scottish champions Celtic tried and failed to sign him earlier in the summer. The Kosovan centre back told Italian media portal II Martino that the Scottish Premier League giants wanted to sign him before he left Hellas Verona for Napoli.


Serie A giants Napoli paid £12.6m to sign the 26-year-old defender in January before being loaned back to Hellas Verona for the remainder of last season. He became a Verona player following his £1.89m transfer from Dinamo Zagreb of Croatia. His performances for Hellas Verona prompted the princely move to Napoli.
