Brendan Rodgers 7 biggest transfer buys rated with Celtic pursuit of Quentin Merlin needing major cash splash

dailyrecord.co.uk:

He's being linked with a big money Celtic buy but just how shrewd is Brendan Rodgers when splashing the cash?Already at Parkhead this summer, the Irishman has spent £4m on Maik Nawrocki and another £3m may be spent on Gustaf Lagerbielke who is poised to arrive from Elfsborg.

But while those kind of fees are decent outlays for the Premiership champions, they are relative pennies in relation to what Rodgers has worked with before.

But again he could be about to spend big in Celtic terms, with a £7m deal for Nantes left-back Quentin Merlin mooted.At both Leicester and Liverpool, he was able to splash out on big name stars thanks to the riches of the Premier League, with gold struck on some occasions and misses elsewhere.

The biggest deal Rodgers pulled at Celtic was a club-record £9m move for Odsonne Edouard but that falls all the way down in 29th spot of his biggest deals.
