The pair joined the club during Brendan Rodgers’ initial summer in charge, yet neither managed to carve out a lasting role.
Palma, now on loan at Olympiacos, moved to the Greek outfit in January and has since shown promising signs.
Olympiacos have the chance to lock in the Honduran winger permanently, thanks to a £3.3 million buy option embedded in the loan deal, which could see him stay beyond this season.
Celtic will likely aim to recover as much of their original outlay as they can, and this clause might pave the way for a smooth departure.
Meanwhile, Lagerbielke has hit his stride in the Netherlands with FC Twente, a stark contrast to his limited game time at Celtic Park.
The Swedish centre-back has earned multiple Team of the Week nods, shining on the pitch while also soaking up crucial European exposure.
Twente are satisfied with his performances, and talks of a full-time switch have surfaced, though his continued good form could attract additional interest from elsewhere.
Both players arrived with potential but couldn’t nail down consistent spots in Rodgers’ lineup.
With Celtic eyeing a squad overhaul this summer to bolster their European ambitions, letting go of the duo could open up room and generate funds for fresh talent.
