Ange Postecoglou made a steal by signing Matt O’Riley while at Celtic, and now Atletico Madrid is eyeing a potential move for the midfielder from Tottenham if he becomes too expensive this summer. O’Riley has had a phenomenal season under Brendan Rodgers, scoring 15 goals and providing 17 assists in all competitions.
Although Celtic rejected Atletico’s initial approach in January, the La Liga giants remain interested in the Danish international. With O’Riley’s contract set to expire in a year, he could be available for around £15 million euros, a price that Atletico is willing to pay to strengthen their midfield.
Having seen O’Riley in action in the Champions League, Atletico is aware of his quality and potential. With a contract at Celtic until 2027, the Scottish champions will demand a significant fee for their prized asset.
