A surprising departure may be looming for Celtic defender Carl Starfelt.
Reports suggest that the club’s officials are bracing themselves for potential offers, as interest in the Swedish centre-back intensifies.[SunSport]
With two years still remaining in his contract with Celtic, Starfelt is said to be considering his options for the future. The 28-year-old player, who transferred from Rubin Kazan in 2021 for a fee of £4 million, is no small asset to the Hoops.
Starfelt has proven his worth, playing a crucial part in securing consecutive titles for the club under the stewardship of former manager Ange Postecoglou. His departure would undoubtedly be a blow to Celtic.
Recently, an injury forced Starfelt to sit out during the 1-1 standoff with Wolves in Dublin. However, he managed to play half the game against Athletic Bilbao on Tuesday and has since been participating in training as usual. This leaves him poised to make an appearance in the opening game of the Premiership this Saturday against Ross County.
Celtic have recently signed Maik Nawrocki from Legia Warsaw, who would be the straight replacement for Carl if he left, but the talent pool in defence after that is very shallow.
