Sky Sports reports that Watford and Celtic winger Rocco Vata are in advanced negotiations (live transfer blog, 30.06.24, 11:00).
This summer, Watford hopes to reach an agreement to entice the Scottish Premiership potential to move over the border to England. The athlete is free to speak with other teams while he considers his options in the game because his contract with Celtic has officially expired.
Vata, 19, has risen up through the academy ranks at Celtic Park and is being tipped for a bright future in the game. The Glasgow giants are keen to keep hold of him amid interest from elsewhere but negotiations with Brendan Rodgers’ side over an extension have stalled.
In this latest update regarding his situation by Sky Sports, the winger has travelled down to Hertfordshire to discuss a switch to the Hornets and they have offered him a four-year contract. The Hoops would be due £237,000 in compensation if he was to secure a transfer to Vicarage Road.
Vata would be an eye-catching addition for Watford if they are able to get him.
He has bags of potential and would be a great long-term option for the Championship outfit.
Vata has risen up through the academy ranks of the Scottish champions and has played six times for their first-team so far, chipping in with a single goal.
He has been a key player for the Hoops’ B team in the Lowland League over recent times, which is the fifth tier of Scottish football.
The teenager has scored 30 goals in 58 at that level and will want regular senior action now.
