Celtic ‘close in’ on permanent transfer deal as ex Rangers man released by Premier League new boys

People from Celtic and Rangers will already be hard at work getting ready for both the next season and the preseason.

Both teams will probably make major roster improvements. The Hoops must improve to be Champions League-ready

for the upcoming season, while the Gers must close the gap between themselves and their fiercest opponents.

The previous season’s Scottish Premiership was a closely contested race, with Philippe Clement’s team leading at

different points before Celtic overtook them in the last quarter. As both teams work to get better, we’ve compiled the

most recent news here.

Celtic close in on Bernardo

Paulo Bernardo, a star on loan, is reportedly getting close to signing a permanent contract with Celtic. The Daily Record claims that the Hoops are optimistic about reaching an agreement as they try to lower the option to purchase the loan contract from its current £6 million worth.

The 22-year-old is aware that he has no future at Benfica, and Celtic is hoping to reach a compromise because they are

aware that the Portuguese team wants to sell this summer. “Every young player that comes in isn’t going to adapt right

away, coming from a new country and a different way of football, but Paulo’s really taken his opportunity these last number of weeks,” Rodgers remarked earlier in the season in reference to Bernardo. The benefit of having young players is that.

They wish to grow and learn new things.”

Ipswich Town release ex Rangers player

After being promoted to the Premier League, Ipswich Town released Dominic Ball, a former star of Rangers. The

28-year-old joined the Tractor Boys in 2022 after leaving QPR. Earlier in his career, he had a great loan stint with Rangers.

“Kayden (Jackson) and Dominic have both been important members of a group which has achieved significant success over the last two seasons,” Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna said upon his release.

Both have been instrumental in the development of a culture and standards off the field that have been crucial to the advancement of the Club. They have also made significant contributions on the field. It is important to recognize their contributions to everything the Club has accomplished.
