Atletico signs Celtic player as cheaper option to Atalanta star – Very much on

Matt O’Riley of Celtic is once again on Atletico Madrid’s transfer want list after Brendan Rodgers’ team rejected their bid in the winter transfer window.

Tipsbladet revealed in February that Celtic had turned down a “gigantic” offer from the La Liga team.

Celtic was not pleased with Atlético’s attempt to recruit the 23-year-old on loan with a £18 million purchase obligation.

It was also reported that the Glasgow team would ask for more than £25 million in the summer transfer window for O’Riley.

The Celtic star is on Los Rojiblancos’ target list as they aim to bolster their midfield, according to Friday’s edition of Marca.

Éderson, who won the Europa League with Atalanta earlier this week, is the major subject of the report.

Atlético has decided to back him after seeing his performance in the championship match against Bayer Leverkusen;

nonetheless, signing the Brazilian will likely be difficult due to cost and competition.

The Celtic star fits in here since the Madrid team is considering other options.

This season, the Danish international played twice against Atlético in the Champions League and

contributed an assist in their 2-2 tie at Celtic Park.

It remains to be seen if O’Riley’s “good impression” will be sufficient for Diego Simeone’s team to try again,

according to Marca. If Atletico wants to, they must pay Celtic’s demand of more than £25 million.
