Celtic tipped to get ‘a hefty’ transfer fee after latest Matt O’Riley rumour emerges
With the transfer window fully open, Celtic fans are eagerly waiting for news on the club’s transfer activities. Brendan Rodgers faces the task of potentially replacing key players like Joe Hart and finalizing a deal for Adam Idah. However, Celtic also risks losing some of their top players, particularly Danish midfielder Matt O’Riley, who has been heavily linked with Atletico Madrid.
Andy Walker believes that Celtic is likely to engage in transfer negotiations if Atletico meets their €40m (£34m) valuation for O’Riley. Walker explained on The Go Radio Football Show, “If you’re talking about business at that level, Celtic will do business. That is their model. Bring them to Glasgow, play him in the Scottish Premiership, fatten him up, sell him on. Wouldn’t be surprised if he goes, but it will be a hefty fee.” If such an offer is made, it is almost certain O’Riley will leave the club.
