ZeeboiCeltic are firmly on track to clinch the Scottish Premiership title and might be preparing to part ways with one of Brendan Rodgers’ signings at the club in the upcoming summer transfer window, according to recent reports.
Celtic anticipate a busy summer with transfers in and out:
The Bhoys are on the verge of securing their fourth consecutive Scottish Premiership title and could achieve a domestic treble if they overcome St Johnstone and either Heart of Midlothian or Aberdeen in the later rounds of the Scottish Cup.
Maintaining their proactive approach off the field, Celtic are poised to bring in Kieran Tierney from Arsenal on a pre-contract for the 2025/26 season, as a replacement for Greg Taylor, who is expected to leave after declining to extend his contract at Parkhead.
Following Rodgers’ confirmation of the Scotland international’s impending departure, Dinamo Zagreb have presented Taylor with an attractive offer, potentially providing a substantial wage increase if he chooses to join the current Croatian champions.
On the other hand, Celtic might target £5 million-rated Royal Antwerp winger Michel-Ange Balikwisha to add a new dynamic to their wing options.
With Daizen Maeda recently shifting to a central striker role, the Japan international is likely to remain the preferred choice up top if he stays with the club.
Promising developments await the Bhoys, but they will need to streamline their squad to maintain balance while registering players for next season’s Champions League qualifying play-off round.
Now, Rodgers and his team may have the chance to offload one of his initial signings upon his return to Glasgow, based on recent updates.
Celtic might offload Luis Palma as he seeks a permanent exit:
According to Futbol Centroamerica, Celtic winger Luis Palma has no desire to remain at Parkhead following the conclusion of his loan at Olympiacos.
The Hoops are now looking to sell the Honduras international to the Greek club for the £3.3 million option included in his loan agreement, though they are also willing to lower their asking price.
Luis Palma’s statistics at Celtic:
Appearances
48
Goals
10
Assists
10
From a personal perspective, sources close to the £16,000-per-week Palma have pointed to mistreatment during his time in Glasgow as a key factor driving his wish to leave in the summer. If Olympiacos exercise his clause, it is understood that he will sign a four-year deal with the club.
Described as “a brilliant lad” by Rodgers, the 25-year-old has contributed one goal and one assist during his loan spell in Greece. However, despite flashes of quality at Celtic, his playing style never truly aligned with the high-intensity system the Scottish Premiership champions employ.
With Jota and Maeda providing sufficient cover on the left wing, it’s unsurprising that the Scottish Premiership titleholders are now prepared to move on from Palma after failing to integrate him into their long-term plans.
