Paderborn boss addresses Mika Baur future amid Celtic interest

Paderborn's head coach, Ralf Kettemann, has expressed concern over the potential loss of midfielder Mika Baur, as Celtic continue their pursuit of the talented German player. Baur, who has entered the final year of his contract, has had an initial £4 million bid from Celtic rejected by the Bundesliga club. Despite this, Kettemann insists that the team is not under any pressure to sell and maintains the possibility of retaining both Baur and teammate Laurin.

The coach remains optimistic about the situation, stating that he is confident both players will stay, but acknowledges that contingency plans are in place should a transfer become necessary. Celtic's interest in Baur has been ongoing for several months, with the Scottish champions believing their initial offer would secure a deal. However, the bid was rejected, leaving both clubs hopeful that an agreement can still be reached.
