Celtic have now given Giorgos Giakoumakis an ultimatum over his future at Parkhead after the January window. Urawa Red Diamonds and Atlanta United are pushing for his transfer.
That is according to the Daily Record, which reports Celtic have informed Giakoumakis that he may have to accept a transfer to Urawa or stay in Glasgow. The Greek international has set his sights on a move to Atlanta. But the Hoops want the MLS team to improve their bid.
Giakoumakis wants to move to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium for family reasons. He will also sign a more lucrative contract with the Five Stripes than the terms Urawa have offered. Yet Celtic favour the package that the J-League outfit have presented the Bhoys over Atlanta’s.

Celtic have a £4m bid from Urawa on the table while Atlanta have only offered a loan deal for Giakoumakis’ transfer. The Five Stripes’ proposal includes an option to buy the 28-year-old this summer. But the Hoops only want to sanction a permanent transfer in this market
