Celtic F.C
“World-class” player could be tempted to sign for Celtic
The Hoops might have to pay £15 million for him.
According to a new transfer update this week, one significant Celtic transfer target may now be open to relocating to Parkhead.
Rumours of a Celtic transfer
After losing their previous two games in the Scottish Premiership, the Hoops have been winning again recently. On the weekend, they defeated Motherwell late in the game, and on Wednesday night, they crushed Dundee 7-1. The Rangers are still ahead of Brendan Rodgers’ team at the top of the table, and it appears that the title fight will be decided at the very last minute.
Even though Rodgers is preoccupied with issues on the pitch, it appears that Celtic chefs are already keeping one eye on the transfer market. Given that the money appears to be available, recent reports have even hinted that the Hoops may break their transfer record with a single signing this summer. Loanee Adam Idah is reportedly amenable to a long-term move to Celtic, while young Patrick Casey of Charlton Athletic is also being considered.
The club’s main objective, though, seems to be a new custodian, and Caoimhin Kelleher of Liverpool is a real contender. The Reds’ keeper is someone Celtic “would love” to sign, but prior reports suggested it might be difficult to convince him to move to Scotland.
Kelleher update to Celtic.
Kelleher might be persuaded to sign with Celtic because of “the prospect of regular first-team football north of the border,” according to a recent HITC update. The manager appears to be a huge fan of Kelleher, who is reportedly very high on Rodgers’ wishlist, but a deal could cost as much as £15 million.
A new first-choice custodian is required because Joe Hart is expected to retire at the end of the current campaign. According to the report, the club has also observed Ugurcan Cakir of Trabzonspor.

Although Allison has recently been Jurgen Klopp’s first choice at Anfield, Kelleher has been a regular player in domestic cup competitions. In the EL Cup final on Sunday, he shone for the Reds against Chelsea, winning his sixth major award.Teammate Virgil van Dijk has also praised Kelleher, saying on Sunday that “he should have got it (player of the match).” I believe I am one of his biggest fans.
“He is world class, as I have always said, and he delivered today once more. It’s encouraging to observe. He is a decent boy and a good goalie, which is exactly what a team like Liverpool needs.
Over the weekend, Klopp also waxed poetic about Kelleher, saying: “Caoimh was incredible.” Such a polished performance. We have the best custodian in the world and the best number two in the world, as I frequently say. I’m overjoyed for him. Best of the bunch.”
The fact that Kelleher might now be inclined to sign with Celtic is encouraging for the Hoops, and a deal is something to keep an eye on in the upcoming months. our procedure for Liverpool.
