Kasper Schmeichel has passed his Celtic medical and is on route to the USA to complete the formalities on his transfer on Thursday.
Fabrizio Romano broke the news on Friday night that negotiations were progressing to reunite the goalkeeper with Brendan Rodgers.
Danish publisher Tipsbladet have been on the trail of the deal as well, on Monday they revealed that the medical for the move would take place in Italy on Tuesday.
Everything seems to have gone through smoothly, on Wednesday night Tipsbladet reported:
Kasper Schmeichel is now just one signing away from being the new first keeper at the Scottish big club Celtic.
Tipsbladet can reveal that the Danish national team star has passed his medical check-up, and thus there is only ink left on the contract before he can be presented as the new goalkeeper for Brendan Rodgers’ troops.
As Tipsbladet could reveal on Monday, the mandatory medical check-up was to take place in Italy, and it has gone completely according to plan, so on Thursday he will meet his new team-mates in the USA, where Celtic is at a training camp.
Kasper Schmeichel is transfer-free after his farewell to Anderlecht, and it has always been the idea that he should have his future in place after the EC.
After seven weeks without adding anyone to the squad it looks like Celtic are on the brink of signing two goalkeepers in three days.
Viljami Sinisalo flew out with his new team-mates to Washington on Tuesday after completing a £1m move from Aston Villa with the void left by Joe Hart emphatically filled by two Scandinavians at different stages in their careers.
Goalkeeping coach Stevie Woods will be able to get down to some work with his new charges as the hoops prepare to take on DC United on Saturday night.
While Sinisalo has signed a five year contract most reports suggest that Schmeichel;s deal will be for one year with the option of a further 12 months.
