“Celtic Eye Young Talent Amid Domestic Dominance and European Struggles”
Celtic and Brendan Rodgers are reportedly targeting a promising 20-year-old talent, who has drawn comparisons to former Argentina star Angel Di Maria, according to a recent transfer rumor.
Despite dominating the Scottish Premiership—winning all seven of their matches and sitting atop the league—Celtic recently faced a heavy 7-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League. This exposed some of their limitations on the European stage. While Aberdeen are level on points with Celtic, it’s expected that Rangers will pose a bigger challenge, as they are currently five points behind.
Celtic did secure a 5-2 victory against Slovan Bratislava in their opening Champions League match, but to become a serious contender in Europe, they may need to strengthen their squad. The upcoming January transfer window could provide Rodgers with the opportunity to make key signings, ideally while Celtic remains in the Champions League, and they’ve been linked to this exciting young prospect.
