Celtic are set to reopen contract negotiations with 30-year-old midfielder Callum Paterson after earlier discussions stalled during the summer transfer window. The versatile player, who can operate both in midfield and defense, had previously rejected Celtic’s initial contract offer and had been exploring potential opportunities across the Championship, League One, and even overseas.
Sources close to the club indicate that Celtic have now aligned on terms and conditions and are ready to resume talks, contingent on the lifting of the current embargo on transfer fees. Once this is cleared, the club is expected to engage Paterson and his representatives to finalize a deal.
Paterson’s potential return would be a boost for Celtic, adding experience and flexibility to the squad ahead of a demanding domestic and European season. The Scottish Premiership side had hoped to secure the former Hearts and Cardiff City player earlier in the summer but had to navigate financial and regulatory hurdles that delayed progress.
With talks set to resume in the coming days, fans will be closely following developments to see if Paterson can officially rejoin the Parkhead squad and strengthen Celtic’s options across multiple positions.
