Celtic is active in the market, and Brendan Rogers reportedly is trapped in bargain deals to bolster his backline.
Celtic starts motoring through the summer transfer window
The official opening of Celtic Window will take place next week, but they have already gone down the line with some deals.
Recent interest in blondebe forward Mattias Qvistgarden and Telstar Yousef El Cachati has cooled. However, supporters would have been pleased that Kieran Tierney was officially announced after waiting months for his signature to be confirmed.
Brendan Rogers looks forward to working with players who have delivered so much during his first spell. He believes his “elite” qualities bring an element of stardust as the Celts pursue more success domestically and continents.
The Irish said: “We are very pleased to bring such an elite player back to the club. We are facing many challenges at home and at Europe, so we look forward to working with him and the rest of our team.”
To ensure that Celtic is not blocked there, in his tangible interest in his services over the past year, he has identified Michel Gange Balikwisha as his best summer target.
As mentioned above, the compensation package for Fulham striker Calm Osmand is on the verge of passing to solidify Rogers’ impressive options.
Now, the younger defender will be taking part in Parkhead ranks on a similar contract, even if he doesn’t get pushed into the first team anytime soon.
