In the race to recruit a “dangerous” forward who is also coveted by Ipswich Town, Celtic are viewed as fierce rivals.
Speculation about a Celtic transfer
Before Brendan Rodgers’ second season back in charge, the Hoops have not made a summer acquisition. However, when the January transfer window closed, the Northern Irishman acknowledged the team might appear bold in their acquisitions. I would agree with those who believe we might potentially be a little more daring in terms of bringing in players of a higher caliber. However, it is my responsibility to try to remedy it while I am still here. Looking at this approach, you need to exercise caution because it has proven effective in certain situations. Players are brought in at a low cost, and they go on to provide significant revenue for the team.
Since it’s a crucial component of the current game, I intend to strike a balance by allowing us to continue doing that during my tenure here. However, we also aspire to have the guts to throw on the towel and accept a ready-made player. Finding a replacement for Joe Hart, who retired at the end of the previous season, is currently the top priority on the transfer agenda. Many goalkeepers have been linked, including Tom Glover of Middlesbrough, Caoimhin Kelleher of Liverpool, Ugurcan Cakir of Trabzonspor, Anthony Patterson of Sunderland, Michael Zetterer of Werder Bremen, and most recently Martin Dubravka of Newcastle United and Croatian international Dominik Livakovic.
But Celtic wants more than just a goalie. They also want a new striker and winger. An update has been made on one particular offensive target, and it looks like the Hoops are still in the running. Celtic will compete fiercely for the £25 million forward.
This season, there have been rumors that Celtic may want to recruit Panathinaikos center-forward Fotis Ioannidis, but the Hoops were expected to lose to West Ham handily.
