Celtic has been buzzing with talk this summer about keeping loan striker Adam Idah on a permanent basis. The Irishman arrived in February and wasted no time making an impact, scoring twice and assisting in his first two games.
As his time in Glasgow progressed, the 23-year-old became even more influential, proving himself to be a game-changer with his ability to score crucial goals. His late strike in the match against Rangers almost secured the double for the Hoops.
While most fans are eager to see Idah return next season, there is some debate surrounding the future of Paulo Bernardo. The Portuguese midfielder, signed on loan from Benfica, has shown his worth with standout performances, including a goal in the Glasgow derby.
Despite losing his starting spot to Reo Hatate towards the end of the campaign, the 22-year-old has made valuable contributions, including a crucial goal against Livingston and a strong showing in the Scottish Cup final.
While Bernardo is keen to stay at Celtic, the club is reportedly considering whether to pay the £6 million fee for his permanent transfer. Some believe it may be wise for Celtic to wait and see if they can secure a better deal or explore other options.
Former player Chris Sutton supports the club’s cautious approach, recognizing Bernardo’s potential but also acknowledging that there is still room for improvement in his game. Ultimately, the decision rests on whether Celtic will invest in polishing up the promising midfielder.
