Nancy star Calve 'free' to join Hoops
ancy defender Jean Calve has told Scottish Premier League giants Celtic that they can sign him for nothing.[LNB] The Ligue One side have reportedly offered the full-back to the Hoops for £600,000 as part of a £1.8million double deal with midfielder Landry NGuemo, who was on loan at Parkhead last season.[LNB]However, Calve, who was close to signing for Celtic last summer, insists he has a clause in his contract which allows him to leave without a fee after a bonus row.[LNB]"When Celtic signed Landry on loan last year they spoke to Nancy about me joining them too," he said.[LNB]"They wanted to sign me, not at the money Nancy were asking for.[LNB]"It was too high a price and the deal was off.[LNB]"I kept in touch with Landry and Marc-Antoine Fortune about Celtic and from what I hear it's a fantastic club with a great support.[LNB]"They are one of the biggest clubs in Europe and I'd be delighted to sign for them. What player wouldn't?[LNB]"The big difference between this year and last is the transfer fee.[LNB]"This year I won't cost anything.[LNB]"I still have two years left on my contract at Nancy, but I'm free to speak to any club I want and free to move if they want to sign me.[LNB]"I have official signed documents from Nancy agreeing to these conditions.[LNB]"Nancy were almost five months late with a substantial bonus payment and when I threatened to take legal action, it was agreed I wouldn't take any action if they signed papers allowing me to leave on a free transfer."
