As the transfer window countdown continues, Brendan Rodgers is working tirelessly to perfect Celtic’s attacking lineup. With new additions like Paulo Bernardo, Viljami Sanisalo, and Kasper Schmeichel joining the squad, the focus now shifts to strengthening the forward line.
Last season saw shared scoring responsibility among Kyogo Furuhashi, Matt O’Riley, Luis Palma, and Daizen Maeda who all hit double figures. Despite a convincing 4-0 victory against Kilmarnock in their opening match, Rodgers is still on the lookout for two or three more forwards to complete his dream lineup.
Adam Idah, who impressed during a loan spell at Celtic Park last season, is set to stay after negotiations with Norwich City. Dubbed the ‘new Messi,’ Facundo Buonanotte is a top target for Celtic and Southampton, following a standout season with Brighton in the Premier League.
Irish wonderkid Mason Melia is also attracting interest from Celtic and Brighton, with Manchester City and Everton also keeping an eye on the talented teenager. Meanwhile, talks with Royal Antwerp for Michel-Ange Balikwisha have hit a snag, potentially delaying a summer move.
With just weeks left in the transfer window, Celtic’s pursuit of a stronger attacking force is in full swing, as they aim to build a formidable forward line for the upcoming season.
