Celtic lining up move for in “prime” star who’s a dream Begovic alternative

Brendan Rodgers will be eager to secure a piece of silverware in his first season back at Parkhead, following his return to the club last summer. While their main focus remains on the remainder of the 2023/24 season and their on-field performances, they are also keeping an eye on the upcoming summer transfer window.

With Joe Hart set to depart from Glasgow at the end of the season, Celtic are aware that they need to find a replacement for the experienced goalkeeper. The 37-year-old has announced his retirement from professional football, leaving the club without a first-choice keeper for the 2024/25 campaign. As a result, they are already identifying potential targets to strengthen their squad in the months ahead.

Reports suggest that Celtic are interested in signing Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper Peter Pentz, who has been on loan at Brondby this season. Alongside Dutch side PSV, the Scottish giants are considering a move for the talented shot-stopper to enhance their squads for the next season. The details of the potential transfer fee are yet to be disclosed, as Pentz’s current contract is set to expire in 2025.

Previously linked with other clubs like PSV and Southampton, Pentz could be a sought-after signing for Celtic, providing a promising alternative to veteran goalkeeper Asmir Begovic, who is reportedly not a priority target for the team.
