Celtic have now made a bid for another new player as the Hoops attempt to make a plethora of signings before Friday’s deadline.
Celtic transfer rumours
Brendan Rodgers’ side have made a perfect start to the Scottish Premiership campaign but have now lost star midfielder Matt O’Riley, who joined Brighton & Hove Albion in a record Scottish exit. Therefore, money should be there for Celtic to reinvest, and that is something what Rodgers wants to happen, recently saying:
“We can’t be happy just to make our money and build our pot because the bottom line is on the pitch. That’s the bottom line. The supporters, they pay the money. I look back to the Covid times here, the Celtic supporters sold the stadium out and they weren’t allowed in it.
“So we have the duty to put the best team on the pitch. That’s what we’ll do and look to do. It’s taken a bit longer than I would have liked. But if we can do it by Friday, strengthen the squad, we’ll be in a really, really good place.
The team is in a good place, mentally, tactically, how they’re playing. But we want to strengthen and have that depth. It’s taken a lot longer than I would have liked as the football manager. That’s my brutally honest answer on it. But I will repeat this. If we get them in, then there’s still a long season ahead. So it’s important that we do get that. And I have belief that we will do.”
Bids have been going in for a number of players, including FC Augsburg midfielder Arne Engels, Los Angeles FC midfielder Mateusz Bogusz and Lazio winger Gustav Isaksen as the club look to make up for the void left by O’Riley.
