£14,000 per week star urge Celtic to accept Manchester United £30m offer as he wants to play for his dream club

Celtic are reportedly preparing to seek a Scottish record transfer price for midfielder Matt O’Riley this summer.

The playmaker has been extensively linked with a departure from Celtic Park this summer,

with many Premier League clubs keeping a close eye on his status.

and his skills have been recognized around Europe. In the January transfer window,

Atletico Madrid made a bid for the 23-year-old, but Brendan Rodgers’ side turned it down.

but Celtic refused to part ways with any of their top players midway through the season.

However, the Hornets are expecting new bids for their No. 33 this summer.

According to The Mirror, Atletico Madrid are set to’revive’ their interest in O’Riley once the season is over,

with Inter Milan and Girona also keeping a close eye on the ex-MK Dons star.

Several Premier League clubs are rumored to be interested in O’Riley,

with Manchester United’monitoring’ the midfielder since 2022. Celtic, however, are unwilling to let their playmaker go cheaply.

The Scottish giants will want a sum of up to £25 million to part ways with O’Riley, making him the SPFL’s record transfer sale.

Celtic previously sold Kieran Tierney to Arsenal and Jota to Al-Ittihad for £25 million, but they hope to surpass that price this summer.

O’Riley will be keen to put his head down and finish his time with Celtic on a good note,

having previously admitted that transfer talk influenced him in the weeks following the January transfer window’s closure.

The ex-Fulham player explained: “If I’m being fully honest,

the first two or three games after the transfer window mentally it was a tiny difficulty because

I felt perhaps a bit of extra burden on my shoulders just slightly.

But then I realised I didn’t really know why I was putting extra pressure on myself.

“I didn’t really need to make any changes. I kind of moved on from that and concentrated on what I provide to the team.

It clicked into place again. Each season, regardless of how well it goes, will present a unique difficulty.

Of course, bids are excellent, but they can also be detrimental if you don’t approach them correctly,

so that’s something else to learn in the future.
