Celtic FC is reportedly interested in signing Kelechi Iheanacho from Sevilla on a loan-to-buy deal. The move would reunite Iheanacho with his former manager, Brendan Rodgers, at Celtic Park.
Celtic is preparing a bid for Sevilla's Kelechi Iheanacho as Brendan Rodgers seeks a reunion with the former Leicester City £25 million player. The Scottish Premiership champions are urgently searching for a replacement for Kyogo, who was sold to Rennes for £10 million, and Iheanacho is the target of a bid from the Hoops, according to the Scottish Sun. The proposed deal would involve an initial six-month loan with an option to buy.
Rodgers previously worked with Iheanacho during his time as manager at Leicester City, where the player joined from Manchester City for a significant fee. Iheanacho subsequently moved to the La Liga club last year. He also shared the pitch with Celtic's goalkeeper, Kasper Schmeichel, at Leicester City. While Iheanacho has earned 57 caps for the Super Eagles, he is still only 28 years old and would provide competition for Adam Idah if an agreement can be reached with the Spanish team. The report suggests that Middlesbrough is also interested, but claims that Iheanacho is open to working under Rodgers again. Record Sport revealed that Celtic is also considering a bid for Slovakian striker David Strelec from Slovan Bratislava, and the Hoops have been linked with Brondby's Mathias Kvistgaarden. The club urgently needs to secure a new forward before the transfer window closes, considering their upcoming Champions League play-off knockout against Bayern Munich next month and their pursuit of a domestic Treble. \Fans can stay updated on all the latest breaking news, videos, and audio content regarding the SPFL, the Scotland national team, and more by following Record Sport on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
