Greg Taylor’s Dinamo Zagreb Switch Suffers Major Setback

Greg Taylor’s potential summer move to Dinamo Zagreb has suffered a significant blow following the sacking of their head coach, Fabio Cannavaro. With the Croatian club now in search of a new manager, questions arise as to whether the incoming boss will still be interested in signing Taylor, who is currently free to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with any club.

Taylor’s current deal with Celtic is set to expire, which means he is eligible to speak to other clubs about a potential move when the summer transfer window opens.

Brendan Rodgers has already made it clear that he believes it’s unlikely Taylor will remain at Celtic beyond this season, which has only added fuel to the speculation surrounding the left-back’s future. Taylor, who has been a solid performer for the Hoops, is said to be considering his options, and Zagreb has long been seen as a potential destination for the Scottish international. However, with Dinamo Zagreb now in a period of managerial uncertainty, it could throw a spanner in the works of Taylor’s potential move.

The uncertainty surrounding the managerial change at Zagreb may have a direct impact on the negotiations between Taylor and the Croatian club. While Dinamo Zagreb have shown strong interest, the appointment of a new head coach could lead to a shift in priorities, leaving Taylor’s future up in the air.

The situation is made even more complicated by the fact that Celtic’s own transfer strategy is starting to take shape. With Kieran Tierney already agreeing to a four-year pre-contract to return to Glasgow, it’s clear that the Hoops have other plans in motion, and that could affect negotiations with Taylor.

As it stands, Taylor’s potential move to Dinamo Zagreb is far from certain. While the interest in him remains strong, the managerial upheaval at the Croatian club leaves his future in question. Celtic fans will now be watching closely to see how the situation develops in the coming months, with Taylor’s next move still very much up in the air.
