Celtic Sign Mika Baur in £4m Deal Amid Queen's Park Transfer Interest
What happened?
Celtic have agreed a £4m deal to sign Mika Baur, a 22-year-old midfielder who was a standout for Paderborn last season. Baur, who has been capped by Germany at U21 level, scored four goals and assisted six as Paderborn gained promotion to the Bundesliga.
Why it matters for Queen's Park
The transfer interest from Celtic is a significant development for Queen's Park, who are currently 36 points behind leaders ST Johnstone in the Championship. The Hoops are looking to strengthen their midfield options, and Baur's signing could be a major boost.
What comes next?
Negotiations with Paderborn are ongoing, but it is understood that the fee will be in the region of £4m. Martin O'Neill is already light on midfield options and could yet lose Arne Engels amid interest in the Belgian. Baur would be a major addition to Celtic's squad and could become their second summer signing after Camilo Duran.
Queen's Park are currently 6th in the Championship, with 41 points from 36 games. They have a recent form of DLDLW and have scored 35 goals this season, conceding 48. Their last result was a 1-1 draw against Partick on May 1st. They are looking to improve their league position and could face stiff competition from Celtic in the transfer market.
Recent form
Queen's Park's recent form has been inconsistent, with a string of draws and losses in their last five games. They have not won a game in their last three outings and are struggling to find consistency in their performances.
