Celtic 'after' standout Swiss Super League midfielder
The 24-year-old caught the eye while playing for Yverdon in the Swiss top flight last season, scoring four goals and assisting three across 27 appearances. Eligible to play for both Mali and France, Baradji joined his current club from Legnago last summer. English Championship side Sunderland are in talks to sign Baradji, claims africafoot, although Celtic, along with FC Basel, Torino, Parma, and Fiorentina, are 'after' the player's services. Baradji is said to be available for €3 million. Read more: Celtic have been relatively busy in the transfer market this summer. Benjamin Nygren appears set to join the Parkhead club, with Nordsjaelland's sporting director recently admitting that replacing a player of his quality won't come cheap. "When you play with so many young players, and they make their debut on various A-national teams, offers can come in, and that is something we are continuously evaluating," Riget told Tipsbladet. "Our strategy is always to use our own young talents as much as possible, but if there are places in the team where we can see an opportunity for a qualitative boost while the talents grow, and that it is also in the form of a profile type that can support our own academy players, that is of course something we will look at. "We are looking for players in different places on the pitch where they can help increase our level and provide more stability. "For example, we can see that there is great and early interest in offensive, young players, so it is always a good idea if we have a player type like Benjamin Nygren, who has performed well over a number of years and given us stability in the front line. "In addition to looking for an offensive player, we are also looking at other positions. "So we will be active in the summer transfer window. It costs some money, but with the right quality we are also ready to invest. "If something happens, we may have to do something further but the focus will always and will continue to be on creating space and time for the many talents that come up from the academies in Farum and Ghana."

Her debut in the A-national team was in 2012 in the 5-0 win in the European Championship qualifying match against Turkey.

It has always filled me with pride to represent my country and hear the anthem. Even if there were probably more games on the bench than on the pitch. Football is a team sport, and that makes so much of it," said Schult about her career end. 📸 Anton Uzunov - 2022 Getty Images
