Carl Starfelt could make a dramatic return to Celtic, just a year after his departure to Celta Vigo in Spain.
Reports emerging from Spain suggest that Celta Vigo is open to negotiations for Starfelt’s exit, potentially paving the way for a comeback at Celtic Park under Brendan Rodgers.
Despite an underwhelming season that saw Celta Vigo finish a mere eight points clear of the relegation zone in La Liga, Starfelt could find himself back in Glasgow where he previously shone.
According to Football Scotland, however, the central defender’s salary demands could pose a significant hurdle, potentially complicating the negotiations due to his heightened financial expectations following his stint in Spain.
Starfelt’s experience and familiarity with both Celtic and the Scottish Premiership make him an attractive option as Celtic looks to bolster their defensive line.
With Liam Scales failing to impress, Gustaf Lagerbielke set to exit, and Maik Nawrocki not finding favour under Rodgers, the potential re-signing of Starfelt could offer much-needed stability and quality to the Hoops’ backline as they prepare for another competitive season.
