Sky Sports journalist Anthony Joseph recently shed light on Celtic’s ambitious transfer strategy. The club’s focus is not just on domestic success but also making a significant impact on the European stage, specifically in the Champions League.
In his conversation with GIVEMESPORT, Joseph revealed that Celtic’s aspirations go beyond the Scottish Premiership. He said, “In my conversations with contacts and sources, they keep stressing that they really want to compete in the Champions League and make a mark in Europe.”
The new Champions League format seems to have given Celtic a renewed sense of hope. Joseph added, “Certainly, in the new format, they feel they have the foundation and the budget to win the league this year and put themselves in that position to get that increased Champions League revenue, and the increased amount of matches and really make a mark.”
Celtic are going for their third consecutive title under the new manager, Brendan Rodgers. Many believe that Rodgers’ return to the club is a strategic move to bolster Celtic’s performance in Europe.
Last season, under Ange Postecoglou, Celtic failed to secure a single win in the Champions League group stage. This failure has seemingly spurred the club to reassess their strategy and aim for a stronger performance in the upcoming season.
