As the transfer window approaches its final hours, Celtic is actively working on multiple fronts to reinforce the squad. Manager Brendan Rodgers has emphasized the need for new signings, especially after the confirmed departure of Matt O’Riley to Brighton & Hove Albion. With midfield now a priority, Celtic is making advances for players like Arne Engels and Mateusz Bogosz.
In other transfer news:
1. **Gustav Isaksen:** Celtic made an inquiry about Lazio’s Gustav Isaksen, but the winger has decided to stay in Rome and fight for his place, ending any potential move to Celtic.
2. **Gustaf Lagerbielke:** Celtic has accepted a loan bid from FC Twente for Gustaf Lagerbielke. The Swedish defender has struggled for game time under Rodgers, making just ten appearances. With Yuki Kobayashi also leaving for Portimonense, Celtic fans are hopeful this could clear the way for a new defensive signing.
3. **Hannibal Mejbri:** The rumored link between Celtic and Manchester United’s Hannibal Mejbri has ended, as Burnley has agreed on a permanent deal for the young talent. Celtic is focusing on other midfield targets instead.
4. **Kyogo Furuhashi:** Concerns arose when reports surfaced about Manchester City’s interest in Celtic’s star forward Kyogo Furuhashi. However, it now appears that City is unlikely to pursue a move for Kyogo before the transfer window closes, much to the relief of Celtic fans. This update came from Sam Lee, the reporter who initially broke the news, indicating that City has decided against making a late move for Kyogo.
As the transfer deadline looms, Celtic supporters will be keenly watching to see if Rodgers can secure the reinforcements needed to bolster the squad for the season ahead.
