Despite Lagerbielke’s notable contribution in the Champions League—scoring a historic goal that marked Celtic’s first home victory in the competition in over a decade—his time at the club has not lived up to expectations.
The 24-year-old, who joined Celtic last summer, has struggled to secure a regular place in Brendan Rodgers’ plans. Rodgers acknowledged that while the club had prevented Lagerbielke from leaving in January due to a shortage of players in his position, they appreciated his professional attitude throughout the period.
As the transfer window progresses, it appears Celtic is open to offers for Lagerbielke, hoping to recover the £3 million transfer fee spent to acquire him last year. The interest from Parma and Hellas Verona could provide a fresh start for Lagerbielke, offering him the opportunity to revive his career in Italy’s top flight.
