Celtic will try again to sign Sparta Prague’s top player. Jensen, Peter Vindahl.
One of the Hoops’ main summer goals is the Danish goalkeeper. They have been attempting to negotiate for a few weeks now, but his Czech team is unwilling to sell and would require a price higher than £8 million. Celtic will make another attempt to sign the 26-year-old because they still think a deal can be reached. Vindahl Jensen is at the top of the shortlist of keepers that the Scottish champions have assembled. Vindahl Jensen is likewise fervent about joining the English Premier League and the Danish national squad. The athlete is aware that relocating to Scotland would help him succeed in both areas. Sparta Prague is the biggest challenge for Celtic. Vindahl Jensen is something they want to maintain for their own Champions League attack, not sell. The keeper was first taken on loan from AZ Alkmaar by Sparta, who only took up the option to sign him permanently this summer. Since Joe Hart declared his retirement in the summer, Celtic have been researching goalkeepers.
Although Scott Bain and Benjamin Siegrist are on their roster right now, neither is anticipated to be the starting goalie for the upcoming season. Although Horatiu Moldovan of Atletico Madrid is not on their wanted list, the Spanish press connected Celtic with the Romanian.
Additionally, Celtic wants to recruit Norwich City attacker Adam Idah on a permanent basis. On that front, a deal is getting closer. They intended to make up for it by selling Genk Hyena-gyu Oh. The Belgian team’s original £3.5 million offer for the South Korean striker was turned down, but they haven’t made another one as of yet.
In an attempt to acquire another central defender, Celtic has approached Burnley over Dara O’Shea, a Republic of Ireland international. In addition, Rodgers is looking for a left back and one, if not two, central midfield players.
Paulo Bernardo’s salary is still a problem, although Celtic and Benfica are still in negotiations to sign him. While Southampton is also showing a lot of interest in Matt O’Riley, Atletico Madrid is still a fan but would have to sell before they could purchase. But, given that Sevilla is in negotiations to sign Saul, their midfield player, the Atletico Madrid position could swiftly change. Although O’Riley had been linked to Leicester City, it is unlikely that he was employed by manager Steve Cooper during his time as the England under-19 squad’s manager. Celtic has given youngster Bosun Lawall an opportunity to shine during preseason play. In addition to Birmingham City, Fortuna Sittard is also showing interest in the defender.
