Celtic’s interest in Burnley defender Dara O’Shea has been heating up, and recent developments at Burnley might just tip the scales in favour of a move to Glasgow.
As Celtic searches for a solid partner for Cameron Carter-Vickers in defence, O’Shea has emerged as a strong candidate due to his impressive performances and Premier League experience.
The complexity of the transfer, given O’Shea’s £7 million move to Burnley last summer and his remaining three-year contract, suggests that negotiations could be challenging. Yet, Burnley’s recent transfer activities might hint at a possible shift.
Renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported that Burnley has secured Brazilian defender Lucas Pires from Santos following a loan at Cádiz, with Pires having already completed his medical.
This addition to Burnley’s squad could potentially be a replacement for O’Shea, paving the way for Celtic to make a move.
It will be interesting to see what happens over the next few days, and a transfer to keep an eye on as Celtic look to make their first summer signing.
