Report: Matt O’Riley lays Hints on the table ahead of January window

While all eyes may be on Matt O’Riley of Celtic, Record Sport reports that Inter Milan will probably get the cold shoulder if they press forward.

The Danish international’s season-long loan with a sizable buyout option come summer is apparently something the Italian authorities have been kicking around. However, Celtic aren’t looking to offload after signing O’Riley to a new, long-term deal.

According to reports, O’Riley has revealed his cards and stated that he is happy to be playing for the Hoops and enjoying his time at Celtic Park. His devotion to Celtic is unwavering despite the pull of Serie A, and the club’s upper management shares this belief, preferring to strengthen rather than demolish their team. The goal is very obvious as they fight The Rangers for the championship: to keep the team together and strong, with players like O’Riley.

Brendan Rodgers, the manager of Celtic, recently voiced his confidence and lack of concern in the face of growing interest in his players. O’Riley was a great investment after emerging as a vital player under Rodgers after being acquired for a low price from MK Dons.

His worth has increased dramatically after a season in which he has nine goals and eight assists. Should Celtic choose to bargain, they will be looking at a figure that might break records.

Celtic’s recruitment team is actively looking to bolster their lineup even while the rumors circulate. They have their eye on Estoril’s Tiago Araujo, but the complicated finances with Benfica could cause delays.

Furthermore, Wolves’ Fabio Silva has been floated as a possible on-loan acquisition, demonstrating Celtics’ continued plan to bolster rather than deplete their present roster.

Essentially, Celtic’s position, supported by the player’s personal satisfaction, indicates a partnership that is far from over, while Inter Milan’s interest is a tribute to O’Riley’s growing prominence.
