It’s important to note that, despite extensive speculation about O’Riley’s valuation, Celtic has not officially set a price or engaged in negotiations about a specific fee with any club or agents. The figures circulating in the media have not been endorsed by Celtic, leading to a situation where potential suitors, like Atalanta, have refrained from pursuing counteroffers, possibly contributing to their decision to withdraw from negotiations.
It’s not yet known if Celtic have accepted this bid or knocked it back.
