Reports out of Scotland have put New York Red Bulls close to a permanent and immediate transfer move for forward Cameron Harper from Celtic FC of the Scottish Premiership.
Following a report last month by The Athletic that Harper was in talks with New York as the end of his reserve contract with Celtic approaches, the Glasgow Times reported on Wednesday that the talks had progressed to the final stages and that the Red Bulls have beaten other MLS clubs to Harper’s signature. The deal would involve a permanent transfer rather than awaiting Harper’s free agency in the summer and while the Times report claimed a transfer fee was agreed, Once A Metro sources have indicated that discussions over a final fee remain the last hurdle to the deal’s completion.
