Who Is Vasilios Barkas? The Keeper That Celtic Are Reportedly Prepared To Pay £4m For

Celtic have had a bid knocked back for AEK Athens goalkeeper Vasilios Barkas, according to reports in the Greek media.

It is believed that the Hoops offered €3.5m (£3.2m) plus another €1m (£900k) in add-ons for the 26-year-old but AEK are said to be holding out for a higher fee.

Whether the Scottish champions will return with another offer for Barkas, we shall have to wait and see, but it does appear that the Greek international is now the club’s number one target to replace Fraser Forster.
