OPINION
Not much was though about Celtic’s decision to offload Liam Henderson in the January transfer window when he joined Serie B club Bari for a measly £120,000.
However Brendan Rodgers now appears to have dropped a clanger as within months of leaving Parkhead, the 22-year-old’s value has rocketed.
The Daily Record has reported that Parma have bid £1million for Henderson after a brilliant second half of the season saw him help Bari finish in the Serie B play-off spots.
It seems that Celtic, yet again, sold a player for a lot lower than he was actually worth.
Henderson was a title winner and a League Cup winner with Celtic and also won the Norwegian league title and cup with Rosenborg.
The left-footed midfielder was also part of the Hibernian team that won the Scottish Cup and given the fact that he has had such a decorated career at such a young age, the Bhoys really should have been demanding a higher fee for him.
Hopefully Rodgers had the sense to include some kind of sell-on clause in Henderson’s move to Bari, which will at least offer a big of consolation to what is basically missing out on a decent fee.
If Celtic had got £1million for Henderson in January, it would really have helped the club to strengthen their defence by boosting their wage budget.
The Bhoys need to stop selling players for lower than they worth, this is why Scottish football is not taken seriously.
