Celtic’s summer transfer window ended quietly, with only one player, Sebastian Tounetki, joining the club on deadline day after the initial offer was increased to over £5m. Brendan Rodgers reportedly missed out on targets like Kasper Dolberg, who chose to join Ajax instead of Celtic from Anderlecht.
Former Celtic player Chris Sutton was critical of the club’s transfer activity, describing it as “remarkable” and suggesting that Celtic have emerged weaker from the window. Sutton pointed out that the lack of significant additions has dampened the expectations and excitement surrounding the team for the upcoming season.
One notable player linked with Celtic during the transfer window was Kelechi Iheanacho. The club’s interest in the Nigerian forward began earlier in the year when he was playing for Sevilla in La Liga. Rodgers reportedly wanted to bring Iheanacho on loan to Celtic during the winter transfer window, but the deal did not materialize at that time.
Now that Iheanacho’s contract has been terminated by Sevilla, there may be a renewed interest from Celtic in signing the 28-year-old striker. Celtic fans will watch closely to see if any further developments occur during the international break period.
