Celtic Football Club has reached a full agreement to sign Camilo Duran from Qarabag, marking the club's first acquisition of the 2026 summer transfer window. The Colombian forward has traveled to Glasgow to undergo a medical examination as part of the transfer process.

Details of the Transfer

After a period of quiet activity in the transfer market, Celtic has successfully negotiated Duran's signature following extensive discussions with Qarabag. Reports from Azerbaijani outlet SportInfo confirm that Duran has departed from his club's training camp to complete the necessary medical checks. He is expected to sign a three-year contract with an option for an additional year. While the exact transfer fee remains undisclosed, it is believed that the total cost could surpass €5 million, factoring in potential add-on payments.

Player Profile and Performance

Camilo Duran, 24, joined Qarabag from Portuguese club Portimonense for a modest fee of €200,000 last August. During his time in Azerbaijan, he has made significant strides, scoring 20 goals across all competitions last season, including five goals in just 10 appearances in the Champions League. Duran primarily played as a centre forward but also showcased his versatility by taking on roles as a right winger and occasionally on the left flank. His adaptability will be beneficial for Celtic, especially with the potential departure of Daizen Maeda, who is reportedly exploring transfer options.

Once his medical is finalized, Duran will be officially unveiled as Celtic's first signing of the summer, and if the add-on clauses are activated, he could become Qarabag's all-time record sale, surpassing the previous record held by Juninho, who transferred to Flamengo for €5 million in 2024.
