Petar Skuletic at Celtic

Petar Skuletic

It looks like Partizan is selling everything they have in the youth squad this winter. After Miralem Sulejmani left the club before signing the first proffesional contract leaving the Partizan bank account with only 250.00$, it looks like Partizan decided to sell the kids before they decide to leave. After SUlejmani, Gulan has been sold to Fiorentina, and just a couple of weeks ago Tosic and Ljajic both signed for Manchester United. Petar Skuletic is another name from their youth ranks and the rumours are that he just signed for Celtic.

Skuletic is 18 years old forward, pretty tall (1.90) and strong. He is already in Serbian U19, even he is born in Montenegro and has the option to play for them. Scouts could see him at UEFA Tournament in Northern Ireland during the summer, when Serbian team crashed both England and hosts. In the U19 team, Skuletic is behind top talents Aleksic and Milic, but he proved to be great talent as well. Also, at 4th U-17 Quixote Tropheo, Skuletic took the Top Scorer award with 7 goals playing in the same team with Ljajic. Partizan took third place at that tournament, but trashed Barcelona by 5:0 in the game for third place.

It looks like Celtic was faster then Blackburn, as The Rovers have also been interested to sign him.
