Celtic is gearing up for their highly anticipated second match in the Scottish Premiership, where they will face Hibernian away from Parkhead this afternoon. After a dominant 4-0 victory over Kilmarnock in their season opener, the Hoops are eager to continue their winning streak with goals coming from the likes of Reo Hatate, Liam Scales, Nicolas Kuhn, and Anthony Ralston.
While manager Brendan Rodgers is focused on the upcoming game, negotiations are ongoing behind the scenes to strengthen the squad during the summer transfer window. In addition to their talks with Norwich City for a permanent deal for Adam Idah, Celtic is also actively seeking out the addition of another midfielder to bolster the team’s depth and quality.
In a fascinating turn of events, Celtic has reportedly set their sights on Manchester United midfielder Hannibal Mejbri, aiming to “hijack” Rangers’ pursuit of the talented player. The club is keen on securing the Tunisian international to enhance their midfield options, amidst strong interest from their Glasgow rivals.
Should Celtic successfully persuade Hannibal to join their ranks, the club could potentially see a dynamic partnership form between the midfielder and Adam Idah, should the Irishman also make the move to Parkhead. Hannibal’s creative playmaking skills in the middle of the park could complement Idah’s clinical finishing abilities, resulting in a formidable partnership that could pose a significant threat to opposing teams.
With Hannibal’s impressive track record at youth level, including six goals and 17 assists in 41 appearances for Manchester United’s U21 side, and Idah’s proven ability to find the back of the net, the potential combination of the two players could be a game-changer for Celtic on the football field. If both deals come to fruition, the Hoops would undoubtedly have a strong and versatile squad that could compete at the highest levels of Scottish and European football. Fans are eagerly anticipating the outcome of these negotiations and the potential impact these new signings could have on the team’s performance in the upcoming season.
