The Hoops are now leading the Scottish Premiership once more, but it appears like the club may have a busy January transfer window with both inbound and outbound players.
There have been many rumors about possible arrivals, and Brendan Rodgers has already permitted Stephen Welsh to join Belgian team KV Mechelen on loan this month.
With Kieran Tierney’s contract with Arsenal expiring in the summer, Celtic is negotiating a deal to bring the former defender back to Parkhead.
According to reports, Tierney may sign a three-year permanent contract back in Glasgow after being on loan to Celtic this month.
The 18-year-old Bazoumana Toure of Hammarby is also expected to get an offer from Celtic after impressing scout Jay Lefevre during a game in Sweden.
Parkhead authorities are also interested in Mason Melia, a teenage forward from St Patrick’s Athletic. Celtic is vying for the Irish teenager against Premier League powerhouses Tottenham Hotspur and former manager Ange Postecoglou.
However, other players, like as winger Luis Palma, might also leave Parkhead. The Honduran international, who is said to earn about £11,000 per week, entered the game as a substitute during the team’s most recent 2-0 victory over Dundee United.
However, given a recent transfer development, that might be his last game wearing a green and white shirt, even if Celtic had previously turned down two approaches for Palma’s services.
Rayo Vallecano and Palma have reportedly struck an agreement, and the La Liga team wants a loan agreement with a €2.5 million buyout option.
James Rodríguez’s exit has made it possible for Vallecano to join Palma, and according to Stephen McGowan, a trustworthy writer for The Daily Mail, negotiations are still ongoing between the two teams as Rodgers narrows down his hunt for a replacement.
Luis Palma, a winger for Celtic, is being courted by Rayo Vallecano for a loan. Additionally, the Spanish team is seeking a purchase option that would enable them to pay £2.1 million for the Honduran international.
This month, Brendan Rodgers is focusing his search for a new left winger.
The 24-year-old has fallen down the rankings and wants to try his luck somewhere else, even though he came in as a substitute in the second half of Celtic’s 2-0 victory over Dundee United on Wednesday night.
After being pursued by rival Rangers, Palma joined Celtic for almost £4 million in 2023. He had a stellar debut season, scoring 20 goals in all competitions.
The 24-year-old hasn’t scored or assisted in ten games this season, so if the Hoops are able to find a replacement, it could be best for everyone if he leaves.
