Sky Sports: Celtic in talks to sign £8m ace who Sutton called “sensational”

For Brendan Rodgers, Celtic has begun negotiations to sign a player valued at £8 million; earlier this year, former Hoops forward Chris Sutton gave the player high marks.

Rumors of a Celtic transfer
Despite speculations earlier in the year indicating that Celtic intend to buy a new goalkeeper, winger, and striker ahead of the 2024–25 season, those at Parkhead have not yet made an impression during the transfer window. Shortly after the January transfer window ended, Rodgers said that the team might be “braver” in their acquisitions, hoping to bring in “another level of player” who is “ready-made.” I agree with supporters who believe we should 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. Though there have been several rumors regarding transfer targets, that can come at a price. One rumor stated that Celtic had accepted an offer beyond £7 million for Fenerbahce goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic, who played for Croatia in the 2024 European Championship.
