It was a done deal right? Celtic had Ben Davies tied up and ready to become a Bhoy. Multiple reports over the past few weeks had suggested the impressive Preston North End defender had signed a pre-contract agreement with Celtic and would be joining in the summer. It seemed the absolute epitome of a ‘done deal’.
Yet, what is now clear, is that this was not and never was the case.
According to The Athletic, Davies is going to Liverpool in a £2 million deal to help solve the club’s centre-back problem.
Liverpool needed a new center half to cover injuries to several first-team players and, because of Premier League rules, he ideally needed to be British. Davies is the perfect candidate.
Celtic fans are right to feel aggrieved that Liverpool even had this opportunity.
Where is the supposed agreement Celtic had with Davies? If that was all done and signed then Liverpool’s interest would be erroneous, Davies would be a Celtic player.
However, that is not the case. Instead, Celtic fans are left livid in what is becoming a fairly embarrassing season at Parkhead.
