Celtic are set for a busy summer and Glasgow World has dug out the crystal ball to see what could happen.
Boss Brendan Rodgers has Champions League football to dangle in front of possible incomings after title glory in the 23/24 season. But there could also be outgoing at Parkhead, and rumours both small plus large are bound to float.
Winter transfer window recruitment was lamented and Rodgers said in February there could be more incline to be bold. He said: “I would go with supporters thinking we could maybe be a little bit braver in terms of bringing in another level of player. But that’s up to me to try and fix that over the course of my time here.”
So what could the summer window look like? Could Odsonne Edouard really return to Glasgow? Will Tottenham look to reunite Ange Postecoglou with some of his old players? Here are 13 Celtic transfer predictions as summer silly season kicks off.
5. Record fee needed
Jota and Kieran Tierney hold the record sale tag of £25m. We believe O'Riley, with Atletico and more on the hunt, will surpass that figure. That does, however, mean he will be on the move this summer but the midfielder won't go cheaply. | SNS Group
6. Bernardo on his way
One loanee who won't be back is Paulo Bernardo. There was talk of Celtic wanting to trigger a permanent move but with a seven figure fee needed, he's not going to make inroads past the main midfield three and that fee could be used to bolster areas in more urgent need. He'll go back to Benfica for future assessment. | SNS Group
7. Homegrown talent
Making sure more homegrown talents are in the ranks will be key for Celtic in Europe. That's why we think there will be an openness to ensuring Greg Taylor, Stephen Welsh and Anthony Ralston stick about. Then we think the club will target at least a couple of Scottish players to help with the rest. Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group
8. Hart's replacement.
Celtic must find a suitable replacement for retiring goalkeeper Joe Hart this summer. Many have been linked and we think Rodgers will want to sign two first-team level keepers to see what one has the minerals to take on the mantle. Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group
