Seems a strange one unless we are bringing one in?

Bayo signed to the Scottish club back in the 2019 January transfer window for a fee of £2.01 million.
Surely just on loan? The lads not really had much of a chance to prove himself!

Since then, the 23-year-old has only gone on to make 17 appearances for the Hoops, in which he has managed to score two goals and provide one assist along the way.
Hopefully a loan, think he could be a good player for Celtic

Now that this latest transfer news has been doing the rounds on Twitter, this opened the door for lots of Celtic fans to share their thoughts on the player and this potential move for him.
There were some Celtic fans responding to the post who were keen to see Bayo make the move to France on a permanent basis and get him out of the club altogether.
Permanent hopefully as he’s done here..

Another Rodgers/Congerton dud. Not the standard required unfortunately.

What should Celtic do with Bayo this summer?
Keep him in the squad
Let him leave on loan
Sell him
Probably a good move for him. It’s obvious he’s not going to get much game time here. Good luck to him.

On loan or permanent? Hopefully permanent.

It appears that the possibility of Bayo leaving Celtic this summer has split the opinions of these Hoops fans, with some surprised to see him potentially leaving and hoping that it’s just on a loan deal. However, there are some Hoops fans who think it would be best for the club to cut their ties with the forward altogether.
It will be interesting to see what happens to Bayo this summer and see if he does leave the club or not – and whether it will be on a loan or a permanent move.
