Reo Hatate

In May 2025, a former player suggested Celtic would accept a £10 million (~€12,000,000) offer. This followed reports from August 2024 that Celtic rejected a bid of the same amount, £10 million (~€12,000,000), from an unnamed French club. For context, Celtic reportedly sold another key player for a record £30 million (~€35,000,000) in that same window. The player's initial move from Kawasaki Frontale to Celtic in January 2022 was for a reported €1,500,000.

Our valuation is driven by the rejected £10 million (~€12,000,000) offer from August 2024, which establishes a firm floor. While a pundit suggested in May 2025 that a similar fee might now be accepted for Reo Hatate, reported interest from multiple leagues and his Champions League experience suggest Celtic will hold out for a higher fee. With several years remaining on his contract, the club is in a strong negotiating position.
