Brad Friedel has issued a warning to Celtic regarding the potential signing of Mateusz Bogusz, emphasizing that other European clubs are likely keeping a close eye on the LAFC midfielder. The speculation linking Bogusz to Celtic has intensified in recent days, particularly as the club anticipates the sale of Matt O’Riley to Brighton, which could trigger a move for the Polish international.
Bogusz, who initially struggled to establish himself at Leeds United and spent time on loan at Ibiza, has found his form in Major League Soccer (MLS) with Los Angeles FC. His impressive performances, particularly in terms of goals and assists, have caught the attention of many, including Friedel, who has praised the player’s technical abilities and adaptability across different systems.
Friedel highlighted how LAFC manager Steve Cherundolo has carefully developed Bogusz, gradually increasing his involvement until he became a key player for the team. Given Bogusz’s rising profile and technical skills, Friedel believes that Celtic will need to act swiftly if they wish to secure his signature, as other European clubs are likely to be monitoring him closely.
Celtic’s recent transfer activities, including the conversion of Paulo Bernardo and Adam Idah’s loan deals into permanent moves, have taken time, leading to concerns about the club’s recruitment efficiency, especially with the Champions League on the horizon. The departure of Mark Lawwell earlier this year has also raised questions about the club’s current recruitment structure. With the Champions League group stages set to begin in mid-September, time is of the essence for Celtic to finalize their squad, and any delays could see them miss out on key targets like Bogusz.
