Former left back for Hibernians Josh Doig’s transfer to Marseille fell through at the last minute. Before Hellas Verona terminated the agreement, the 6′ 2″ defender was scheduled to join Gattuso’s Ligue 1 team.
Doig, who spent his time at Hibernian and was strongly connected to Celtic, was the target of an agreed-upon £4.5 million fee. But his club had a change of heart because the athlete was allegedly getting ready for a flight to the South of France.
Sassuolo is anticipated to enter the competition for the player and be prepared to provide a more alluring package in exchange for the Scottish defender’s services. Could Celtic make a move, though, given that the £4.5 million figure is very close to Doig’s asking price?
Doig would provide height, pace, and aggression to the back line in addition to qualifying for the club’s European team as a member of the Scottish national team. It’s no secret that the manager wants to give Greg Taylor some competition and let go of Alexandro Bernabei.
Owen Beck from Liverpool has been linked to Celtic. Before being called up, the young Welsh player played the first part of the season at Dundee, where he made an impression. It is yet unclear if Liverpool would permit him to go on a temporary or permanent basis.
For a while now, Celtic has been trying to bolster their left back position. You can even ask whether Verona would consider trading Bernabei for a player in exchange for cash. The Argentine holds an Italian passport, and he has struggled off the field during his time at Celtic. Though it may frustrate us that we haven’t seen much of him, Ange and Brendan chose to limit his time in the first team after observing him every day at training.
It is anticipated that Celtic will finalize the acquisition of Nicolas Kuhn from Rapid Vienna today. With add-ons, the contract is estimated to cost about £3 million. Then, before the window ends, Brendan wants a striker and a left back. Talk of loan agreements is also present, as the team is preparing for the summer season. Having the ability to win the league is crucial since it guarantees qualification for the UCL Group Stages.
