Stephen McGowan Reveals Celtic’s New Transfer Priority.
Celtic is actively seeking to strengthen its midfield in this summer’s transfer window, a need that has become more pressing with potential interest in their star midfielder, Matt O’Riley.
O’Riley, who has been instrumental for Celtic, attracting attention from clubs such as Roma, an unnamed German team, and Atletico Madrid, may be on his way out, prompting Celtic to look for reinforcements.

The club has already set their sights on Sparta Prague’s Danish goalkeeper Peter Vindahl Jensen as the ideal replacement for the retired Joe Hart. MailSport reports that this would be Celtic’s ideal summer signing between the sticks. However, their focus has shifted to bolstering the midfield.
Negotiations are ongoing for Paulo Bernardo, with Celtic hoping to secure a deal below the £6.5 million buyout clause agreed upon in his loan contract. Despite these efforts, Benfica remains firm on their valuation, reluctant to let Bernardo leave on the cheap.
As reported by Stephen McGowan of MailSport, the midfield has now become a priority area for Celtic to address, indicating a potentially busy transfer period as they prepare to reinforce their squad for the upcoming season.
