Reports tonight claim Celtic will not be Filip Benovic’s next destination with RecordSport claiming the Croatian is on the brink of a move to Belgian to play for Leicester’s sister club Belgium OH Leuven.
John Kennedy spoke today the player could be an option for Celtic but in the last hour or so, reports have claimed that’s off the table.
Celtic are in desperate need of reinforcements at the back and many fans were excited by the prospect of a Benkovic return.
We await confirmation the move to Belgium comes to fruition. It could be a case of Leciester believe the player will get meaningful game time with Leuven.
Celtic can’t and would never guarantee game time to any loan player. They’re paying a ridiculous amount for Shane Duffy and he can’t get in this side in his form.
If we miss out on Benkovic it will be up to the scouting system to come up with something fast.
