UPDATE: Red Tape Would Stop Ola Move this season.

The Celtic social media sphere is abuzz with whispers and speculation about a potential of Ola Solbakken signing for Celtic. This isn’t the first time the Norwegian right winger’s name has been linked with the Hoops.

Two years ago, we at CeltsAreHere.com were informed by his representatives that he was offered to the club shortly after his standout performance that contributed to Celtic’s European exit. But the club signed Liel Abada for the position.

Since then, Solbakken’s journey has been less than ideal. After signing with Roma in Serie A, the move didn’t pan out as expected, leading him to a loan spell in Greece with Olympiakos. However, his time there hasn’t been fruitful, failing to make a significant impact and leaving fans and critics alike questioning his form since his days in Norway.

Now, as per reports from Celtic Underground, a well-respected source for Celtic transfer news,Solbakken has been offered to Celtic once more. This time, it’s said to be a cut-price deal, a tempting proposition for the club considering the player’s potential and prior interest. His current situation in Greece is tenuous at best, with Olympiakos having the option to buy but seemingly reluctant to proceed given his performance.

This opens a fascinating discussion for Celtic supporters. Would Brendan Rodgers consider integrating Solbakken into a rejuvenated Celtic side? The prospect of acquiring a once-promising talent at a reduced fee is enticing, and Rodgers’ known prowess for player development could reignite the Norwegian’s career.

However, the question remains: Is Solbakken the right fit for Celtic’s current strategy and squad dynamics? His previous prowess in Europe is undeniable, but his recent form raises legitimate concerns.

The transfer window is officially open and the club will certainly strengthen in this window but who will be coming in?
