An “ambitious” Celtic player who only signed a new contract this season is now on the verge of leaving the club, according to Sky Sports journalist Anthony Joseph. The Hoops could have another big summer ahead of them, with new signings expected as they look to revive a somewhat tumultuous time under Brendan Rodgers, but current players also potentially moving on when their deals expire. Scott Bain is out of contract at the end of the season and is unlikely to extend his stay, while the long-term future of loan star Adam Idah is still very much up in the air and Joe Hart will retire.
It is believed that Celtic are actually keen on making Idah’s temporary move to a permanent one this summer, with the 23-year-old scoring five goals in six appearances since arriving at the club in the January transfer window. The Hoops have also been linked with an eye-catching move for Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher in the summer, following a superb run of form by the Irishman of late, as he fills in expertly for the injured Alisson. He could look to seal a move elswhere in the coming months, however, surely feeling that he needs to be a regular starter at this point in his career – something he won’t be able to manage with arguably the world’s best ‘keeper ahead of him at Anfield. Trabzonspor stopper Ugurcan Cakir has also emerged as an alternative to Kelleher, should the Liverpool man move elsewhere, and the 27-year-old has started 26 Turkish Super Lig games this season, as well as starting three times for Turkey in Euro 2024 qualifying.
