Matt O’Riley is a hot prospect in the upcoming summer transfer window, with several clubs expressing interest in the Celtic midfielder.
Leeds United and Atletico Madrid have both had £10 million offers for O’Riley rejected in the past, while Southampton could reignite their interest at the end of the season. However, it is believed that O’Riley would only make a move to the Premier League, with a fee of around £25 million reportedly needed to secure his signature.
Former player Carlton Palmer believes there will be a lot of competition for O’Riley this summer, with Celtic likely to hold out for a significant transfer fee.
Leeds and Southampton, both in the race for promotion to the Premier League, could become serious contenders for O’Riley if they secure top-flight status. Both clubs will be looking to strengthen their midfield options, and O’Riley’s talent and experience could make him a valuable addition to either side.
It remains to be seen whether O’Riley will make a move this summer, but one thing is certain – the young midfielder is a player in demand and could command a hefty fee in the transfer market.
