Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is set to make waves this summer with a hefty £30m transfer kitty at his disposal. The Hoops are gearing up for a busy transfer window, and the goalkeeping position appears to be the primary focus of their recruitment strategy.

Football Scotland has revealed that Celtic’s recruitment meetings have highlighted the need for bolstering their goalkeeping squad. The club is reportedly keen on adding to this area in the coming weeks, with Rodgers seeking to create a competitive environment for the incumbent, Joe Hart.

At 36, Hart is entering the twilight of his career, with just a year left on his contract. Rodgers is keen to ensure that the club is well-prepared for the future, and he’s looking for a goalkeeper who can play with the ball at their feet.

This isn’t the first time Rodgers has sought a ball-playing goalkeeper. During his initial tenure at Celtic, he brought in Dorus de Vries to compete with Craig Gordon. However, after a few mishaps with de Vries, Gordon emerged as the superior choice. Rodgers will be hoping for a more successful outcome this time around.

Rodgers’ strategy is clear: he wants a goalkeeper who can compete with Hart and potentially take over when Hart’s contract expires. The £30m transfer kitty provides him with the financial backing to secure a top-quality signing.

As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Rodgers and Celtic. Will they find the perfect goalkeeper to fit their needs? Only time will tell. But one thing is for sure: with £30m in the transfer kitty, Rodgers has the resources to impact the squad significantly.
