Celtic are set for a big bonanza if Atlanta United forward Georgios Giakoumakis completes a move to Cruz Azul this summer.

The Greek striker completed a move to the MLS from Celtic in the winter transfer window last year and has been a star in the United States.

He has scored 24 times in 42 games for Atlanta and is now ready for a move again this summer.

Cruz Azul are negotiating with Atlanta for the forward’s signing in the coming days.


The agreement is at an advanced stage and Cruz Azul are anticipated to pay a fee of roughly £8m for the signature of the striker this summer.

If the deal goes through, Atlanta will benefit to the tune of about £4.7m from the sale of Giakoumakis in the forthcoming transfer window.

A profit from selling him to a club outside the MLS would also mean a percentage of the revenues would have to go to Celtic.

The Bhoys added a sell-on option in the deal to sell the striker that would see them pocket 20 per cent of the profit if he was sold outside the MLS.

As such, Celtic could be in line to receive a cash boost soon.
