Celtic have reportedly slapped a new bumper price tag on Matt O’Riley with Atletico Madrid and a host of suitors lining up this summer.
The La Liga heavyweights made their initial move for the 23-year-old in January but were rebuffed by the Scottish Premiership champions as Brendan Rodgers’ side focused on the end of season run-in. However, reports in Spain have stated that Atletico are “closely monitoring” the Denmark cap this summer and are keen to bring in the Celtic star this summer amid a major overhaul by Diego Simeone.
With the likes of Newcastle United and Brighton also being credited with an interest in the midfielder, the Hoops appear to be in no rush to sell – and AS report that the valuation of the star has skyrocketed this summer. It is claimed that Celtic value the player at €40million (£33million) as the club know he is a “sought-after player” who “may end up leaving.”
