Luis Palma maintains that he is still a Celtic player, even though he’s currently on loan at Olympiacos…
During the January transfer window, the winger was deemed unnecessary at Celtic, leading to his temporary switch to Greece. So far, Luis Palma has featured in eight matches for Olympiacos, scoring a single goal.
‘I’m still with Celtic,’ Luis Palma
Although Olympiacos can opt to sign the Honduran permanently when his loan concludes this summer, the 25-year-old envisions his future remaining with Celtic.
In an interview with Diario La Prensa, Palma stated: “I’m still with them [Celtic]. As long as there’s no transfer, I’ll continue to be grateful to Celtic, but it’s time to defend Olympiacos.”
His current loan team leads the Greek top division by seven points, aiming to secure their 48th championship.
“The coach is like that with us,” Luis Palma
Jose Luis Mendilibar, the Spanish manager, recently urged Palma to elevate his game as the squad pursues the league crown: “The coach is like that with us,” the 25-year-old winger remarked.
“He tells us the truth to get us to react. I reacted, and the truth is that we get along well with the players.”
Palma also recently played for Honduras internationally, netting goals in back-to-back games to aid his country in achieving a 7-3 aggregate victory against Bermuda in their Gold Cup qualifying tie.
