Celtic plan to accept Matt O’Riley offer – sources

If a deal of £35 million is made this summer for 23-year-old Matt O’Riley, Celtic will accept it, sources have told Football Insider.

On Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast,

journalist and Scottish specialist Daniel Bowers said that

Brendan Rodgers “doesn’t get a say” if the club receives a sizable bid.

While there is “disappointment”

among Celtic Park supporters should the midfield player leave,

it is also acknowledged that Celtic would need to accept a substantial offer.

The Scottish transfer record would be broken

by £10 million with a fee of £35 million,

demonstrating the impact O’Riley had in the previous

season and the attention he has continued to receive.

Kieran Trippier’s summer 2019 transfer to Arsenal set a record of £25 million.

Selling O’Riley to Celtic would be a devastating blow to the team.
Given his strong play from the previous season,

a sale for the central midfielder might be unavoidable,

although his departure would have a big effect on the team.

Last season, the Danish international made 37 appearances in the Scottish Premier League, scoring 18 goals and dishing out 13 assists.

In addition to playing a major role in the Hoops’ Scottish Premiership victory, he excelled in the Champions League, contributing three assists in the European competition.
