Celtic are reportedly closing in on a move for Aston Villa winger Louie Barry, who impressed during a loan spell with Stockport County.
Celtic are reportedly targeting Aston Villa winger Louie Barry following his impressive loan spell with Stockport County . The Scottish Premiership leaders are prepared to submit a seven-figure bid for the 21-year-old, who scored 16 goals in League One for the Hatters. While Aston Villa have offered Barry a new contract, he is yet to sign and Celtic's recruitment team have recommended him to manager Brendan Rodgers .
Celtic are looking to strengthen their squad before the transfer window closes and a winger is believed to be a priority. Former Parkhead defender Michael Gray believes Barry would be an excellent addition to the Hoops, highlighting his goalscoring prowess during his loan spell. Celtic have also been linked with Real Valladolid winger Raul Moro, but his recent injury, which is suspected to be a collarbone issue, could jeopardize any potential move. Meanwhile, the proposed transfer of misfit Luis Palma to Rayo Vallecano is facing uncertainty due to FIFA's imposed three-window transfer ban on the Spanish side. However, Rayo Vallecano are contesting the ban, leaving the door slightly open for a deal. Rayo Vallecano manager Inigo Perez has acknowledged the rumors surrounding Palma but insists that he has received no official information about the Honduran winger.
