Hugo Bueno, a left-back, is reportedly being discussed for a possible loan deal between Celtic and Wolves, per BBC Sport.
The Spanish Under-21 international was wanted by the Hoops in January, but negotiations broke down and the trade was ever completed. As a result, Bueno finished the season at Molineux.
However, Bueno is eager to play more frequently after falling behind Rayan Ait-Nouri in the standings, therefore Celtic are attempting once more to close a deal.
Celtic Hold Talks for Hugo Bueno Transfer
According to BBC Sport, the two clubs are in talks about a season-long loan deal for the 21-year-old, but there is no agreement between the sides as things stand.
Bueno has made 49 appearances for Gary O’Neil’s side since joining their academy back in 2019, and is currently on tour with the first-team in the United States.
After winning the Scottish Premiership for the 11th time in 12 years and the Scottish Cup last season, ahead of their bitter rivals Rangers, Celtic is eager to bolster their roster.
Prior to a Champions League campaign under the new structure, Brendan Rodgers wishes to strengthen his team in the hopes that the team would be able to advance farther than it has in previous years.
If Bueno were to join Rodgers’ team, he would likely face competition from Greg Taylor, the current left-back option, who has been dubbed “incredible” by Wolves sporting director Matt Hobbs.
Celtic Pushing For New Transfers Quickly
So far at Parkhead fans have seen two new arrivals come in to the goalkeeper department with Kasper Schmeichel replacing Joe Hart as the new number one, while Viljami Sinisalo has joined from Aston Villa to replace Benjamin Siegrist as his understudy.
But there is expected to be plenty more business done before the transfer window ends with Adam Idah a major target in attack from Norwich and Paulo Bernardo set to make his loan move from Benfica permanent.
Dara O’Shea and Michel-Ange Balikwisha are also targets, but any deal for them could hinge on the future of Matt O’Riley who has emerged as a top target for several clubs.
Atalanta have made him a priority signing after their Europa League win, while Premier League new boys Southampton have had a £14million offer rejected as the Hoops hold out for a club-record fee to let the Dane leave.
