Former Hoops favourite Chris Sutton says European giants will land a bargain if the 20-year-old decides to leave the Scottish champions
CELTIC sensation Kieran Tierney has been tipped to reject a move to the Premier League and sign for Real Madrid.
The 20-year-old left-back has been linked with a high profile switches to both Manchester United and Arsenal despite penning a new six-year deal.
Tierney has been sensational in the Hoops' record-breaking 63-match unbeaten run.
His performances have not gone unnoticed by Europe's biggest clubs as Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers admits he is uncertain where his future lies ultimately.
And former Celtic favourite Chris Sutton believes Tierney will prove to be a bargain for any club that lands his signature.
He told the Daily Record: "I look at the likes of Luke Shaw at Manchester United at £30m and Kyle Walker going to Manchester City for £50m.

“Tierney at £30m would be a bargain. He’s only 20 and with his attitude he will get even better.
“There’s absolutely no doubt he can cut it at the likes of United, Chelsea or Arsenal but I’d go even further. European teams will be looking at him - including the likes of Real Madrid.

“That’s how good he is and that’s why it’s hard to see him spending his entire career at Celtic.
“But the board need to be firm. They thought they were doing good business when they sold Virgil van Dijk for £13.5m but they should have got double for him.
“There’s a tasty sell-on clause but he was still undersold and that can’t be allowed to happen with Tierney. If a £15m bid comes in during January it should be laughed out of town.”
New interim Scotland boss Malky Mackay has named Tierney in his first squad, for the friendly against Holland at Pittodrie on November 9.
