Gravesen Still On For Celtic
Gordon Strachan has said that he would love to sign Real Madrid’s Thomas Gravesen on the proviso that the Dane’s wage demands fit within the tight wage structure that the Glaswegians operate under.
“We would have to have a look at it but there would have to be some homework done on wages,” said Strachan.
“We would like to try and keep him within the structure that we have got here just now.
“But I think it’s unfair to speak about anybody who is not here, it is unfair on the team, the player and our fans.”
Gravesen would probably favour a return to the English Premiership after enjoying his time at Everton but his agent, former Manchester United midfielder John Sivebaek, has said that Celtic is still a very realistic destination for the midfield hardman.
Following Real Madrid’s summer reshuffling, Gravesen has been made available for a cut price ?2m and would be an ideal replacement for the retired Roy Keane in the Hoops’ midfield.
Celtic, and other interested suitors, are hopeful of a decision this week.
