Since the transfer window opened last month, Celtic has been quiet in the signing department. However, that may change soon as reports indicate a potential deal in the works.
Manager Brendan Rodgers has a history of using the loan market effectively, as seen with last season’s successful signings of Paulo Bernardo and Adam Idah. Bernardo, on loan from Benfica, made a significant impact on the team, including a crucial play in the SFA Cup final.
Now, Celtic is nearing a £6m agreement to bring Bernardo back on a permanent basis. Talks between the clubs are progressing well, with confidence that a deal could be finalised before the end of the window.
Rodgers has given the green light for the move, drawing comparisons to his past success with Youri Tielemans at Leicester City. Bernardo’s impressive loan performance showcases his potential to follow in Tielemans’ footsteps as a valuable addition to the squad.
With similar playing styles and a knack for goal contributions, Bernardo could be the key to Celtic’s midfield success for years to come. Rodgers’ strategic eye for talent may once again pay off with the signing of Bernardo, setting the stage for another dynamic partnership on the pitch.
