Celtic FC Transfer News: Two Clubs Make Move for £3.5m Winger Luis Palma

Celtic FC is facing a potential challenge in the January transfer window, as two clubs have expressed interest in signing winger Luis Palma. The 24-year-old Honduras international has struggled to replicate his impressive form from last season, and it appears that Genoa and Olympiacos are keen to capitalize on his situation.

According to Sky Sports’ Anthony Joseph, both clubs have made a move to sign Palma from Celtic this month. However, it is understood that the Scottish champions are not interested in letting the forward leave, particularly with James Forrest still sidelined with an injury.

Palma joined Celtic in August 2023 for a reported £3.5 million and enjoyed a promising first season at the club. He scored six goals and registered nine assists in 24 Scottish Premiership games, showcasing his versatility and attacking prowess. However, this season has been a different story, with Palma struggling to establish himself in Brendan Rodgers’ starting lineup.

The winger has started just two of the eight games he has played in all competitions, with his only league start coming against Dundee in October. This lack of playing time has inevitably led to speculation about his future at Celtic Park, and it appears that Genoa and Olympiacos are ready to pounce.

Celtic’s reluctance to let Palma leave is understandable, given his potential and the fact that he is under contract until the summer of 2028. However, if the club is successful in bringing in a new winger this month, it could potentially change their stance on Palma’s future.

In other transfer news, Celtic is reportedly closing in on the signing of defender Kieran Tierney, with negotiations underway for an agreement to be reached this month. The club is also said to be interested in signing goalkeeper Altay Bayindir from Manchester United, as they seek to strengthen their squad for the second half of the season.

As the January transfer window heats up, Celtic fans will be eagerly awaiting news of any potential incomings and outgoings. While the club’s hierarchy is keen to retain Palma’s services, the winger’s future remains uncertain, and it will be fascinating to see how this transfer saga unfolds in the coming weeks.
