Celtic reported goalkeeper target is now available on a free transfer

With a number of names linked to take Joe Hart’s place in goal,

Brendan Rodgers might have had a boost at Celtic this summer after learning that one of his reported goalkeeper targets is now available as a free agent.

However, with July quickly approaching, there is still no sign of his replacement.

Asmir Begovic, who kept 13 clean sheets in 46 games for Queens Park Rangers last season [Transfermarkt], is one player who has been linked to a summer move to Celtic.

The 37-year-old was reportedly added to the Hoops’ summer shortlist as they look for a new number one.

Earlier this month, in an interview with talkSPORT, he declined to be drawn on his future.

Rodgers may now have the opportunity to sign the former international for Bosnia and Herzegovina for nothing.

After leaving Queens Park Rangers, Asmir Begovic

Begovic has now departed Loftus Road due to the expiration of his contract with the West London-based Queens Park Rangers, according to the team’s official X account.

Begovic has concluded a fruitful year with the Sky Bet Championship team, and he will be replaced in goal by former Gent stopper Paul Nardi [BBC Sport].

“Asmir did a fantastic job last season and when we knew he would not continue,

it was important we had a good set of goalkeepers here,” their manager, Marti Cifuentes, said in regards to the veteran’s departure.

 

Even with the reality of short-termism taken into account,

Begovic has unquestionably had a distinguished career and a wealth of Premier League experience.

However, if he were a player of interest to Celtic this summer,

supporters would be concerned about his age.

Over the last few years, the Scottish Premiership holders have favoured experienced goalkeepers,

and if younger targets become unattainable, signing the former Chelsea player could be an appealing opportunity.
