BREAKING TRANSFER UPDATE: Aston Villa have reportedly reached an agreement to sign talented midfielder Mika Baur from Celtic FC on a long-term five-year contract.
Baur, who only recently joined Celtic from German side SC Paderborn, has quickly attracted attention for his technical ability, energy and versatility in midfield. His move to Scotland was officially completed in August 2026, with Celtic signing him on an initial four-year deal with an option for another year.
The reported Aston Villa agreement would therefore represent a dramatic and unexpected change so soon after his arrival at Celtic. However, there is currently no reliable confirmation that Aston Villa have signed Baur. Current reports instead confirm that Baur is a Celtic player.
If a five-year Aston Villa contract were eventually completed, the move would give the young German midfielder an opportunity to test himself in the Premier League and compete at a higher level.
For now, supporters should treat the Aston Villa claim as unconfirmed transfer news rather than an official completed deal.
