Celtic reportedly could be set to bolster their squad with the addition of Tiago Araujo from Estoril.

This move, as suggested by Daily Mail journalist Stephen McGowan, could see the Benfica academy graduate join Brendan Rodgers’ side, adding fresh talent to the Scottish champions.
Araujo’s potential arrival at Celtic comes at a time when the club is looking to build their European win.
Despite exiting the Champions League at the bottom of Group E, Celtic’s win over Feyenoord, their first in 15 attempts at Europe’s elite competition, has been a morale booster. The victory not only ended a decade-long wait for a home win in the group stage but also earned the club around £2.4 million and two coefficient points.
The interest in Araujo suggests that Brendan Rodgers is looking to add quality to the weaker areas of the Celtic squad in January, with Greg Taylor just not cutting it at the top European level.
Stephen McGowan’s comments on PLZ suggest a strong likelihood of this transfer materialising. “Tiago Araujo is a very strong possibility for Celtic in January… I suspect that is one that might happen,” he stated, indicating that negotiations or discussions might already be underway.

As the January transfer window approaches, Celtic fans will be keenly watching for developments on this front, as the club looks to capitalise on their recent momentum and enhance their squad for future challenges.
