Celtic are on the lookout for a new left-back this summer and have set their sights on Liverpool’s Owen Beck. The Bhoys are also nearing a deal to secure Norwich City striker Adam Idah on a five-year contract at Celtic Park.
Reports from The Daily Record suggest that Celtic are eager to bolster their squad with the addition of a left-back and a goalkeeper before the transfer window closes. They are making a strong push to bring in Beck, with Queens Park Rangers also in discussions for a potential loan deal.
Liverpool is open to letting Beck go permanently for the right price, which is believed to be around £3 million plus add-ons. Celtic is keen on securing his services on a permanent basis to provide competition for Greg Taylor in the starting XI.
Manager Brendan Rodgers sees Beck as a valuable addition to the squad, considering his impressive loan spell at Dundee last season. Despite interest from other clubs, Celtic is hopeful of reaching an agreement with Liverpool for the talented 20-year-old.
While Liverpool already has established left-back options in Andrew Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas, Beck’s potential transfer to Celtic could provide him with a clearer path to regular first-team football. Celtic’s pursuit of a permanent deal for Beck shows their determination to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
