Celtic could land £7.5 million windfall as former player linked to extraordinary transfer

Kieran Tierney could land former club Celtic a tasty sell-on fee as he is linked with a move to Real Madrid from Arsenal.

The 24-year-old from Muirhouse has been a star performer since leaving Parkhead for the Gunners in 2019 in a deal worth an initial £25 million fee.

It has put him on the radar of one of the world's biggest clubs, who want him to compete with current left-back Ferland Mendy for a starting spot.

Reports on Friday suggested the Bernabeu side want Tierney for £30 million but the Scotland international will cost significantly more.

He would likely cost in excess of £50 million and this is brilliant news for Celtic, with the Muirhouse man having the potential to reward his former employers.

The Hoops inserted a 15% sell-on clause into his 2019 transfer, according to the Daily Record, and it would net them £7.5 million if a move to Madrid came off.
