With the Scottish Premiership title race on a knife edge, Celtic have turned their attention towards summer reinforcements during the international break, with a second attempt to sign a long-term target.
Celtic transfer news
For a while, it appeared as though Celtic would win the Scottish Premiership handily once more, but Philippe Clement’s arrival has turned the tide in Rangers’ favour ever since. With one game remaining, Celtic leads Rangers by just one point at the top. Rangers, having made an amazing comeback, now control their own destiny.
In an attempt to steer clear of another hotly contested competition the following season, speculation about possible additions to Celtic Park has already begun. Etienne Vaessen, the custodian for RKC Waalwijk, has already been linked to the Bhoys as a potential replacement for the retiring Joe Hart. This summer, the top slot could very well be the target.
Separate from the new arrivals, rumours have it that Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is on “borrowed time” and may not have a job come season after a lacklustre return to Celtic Park.
Nevertheless, the Scottish behemoths appear to be planning a move to eventually land a long-term objective, Rodgers or not. Hugo Bueno plays left defender for Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Celtic is considering a second effort to sign him this summer after their January loan offer was rejected, according to TeamTalk. This time around, a move is “possible” since Wolves decided to keep their team deep in the winter transfer window.
According to reports, Bueno was willing to take on the challenge of playing in Scotland. Since he still wants to play regularly in the first team, a move to Celtic Park might happen in the near future. In order to finally sign Bueno, Celtic will need to move quickly because they have competition from French and Spanish teams.
“Incredible” Beuno needs Celtic move
Currently stuck behind Rayan Ait Nouri in the pecking order at Wolves, Bueno needs Celtic as much as they need him to strengthen the left-back spot alongside Greg Taylor.
Having said that, he has been with Wolves since he was 16 years old, so negotiating a permanent contract would be challenging. As a result, a loan agreement might be the best choice this summer.
Wolves sporting director Matt Hobbs stated on the club’s official website that “Since joining us as a 16-year-old number 10, the work that Hugo and the coaches have put into changing his position, and the acceptance he had of doing that, shows what a good pro he is.” Midlands residents will be watching, hoping to see the left-back, if he is on loan in Scotland, advance towards his best. It was amazing to see how quickly he was able to adapt to a new role and grow.
“Hugo is one of the club’s biggest success stories. It’s a credit to all those concerned that at the age of sixteen, they brought him in from a Spanish grassroots team, and that he is now a regular Premier League player at the age of twenty-one.
