Celtic are now in the market for a Matt O’Riley replacement and are expected to restart talks with LAFC for the transfer of Mateusz Bogusz.
The negotiations are set to intensify following LAFC’s involvement in the League Cup final against Columbus Crew this Sunday. Celtic has agreed to wait until after this match to proceed with talks for the player who is valued at around £8 million.

This move comes in the wake of Matt O’Riley’s departure to Brighton, which fetched Celtic a record-breaking transfer fee. O’Riley’s exit to the Premier League on a five-year contract marks a significant change in Celtic’s midfield, necessitating swift and effective reinforcements.
With the transfer window closing in just six days, Celtic’s manager Brendan Rodgers has indicated the need to sign two midfielders to compensate for O’Riley’s departure.
Celtic fans are now eagerly anticipating who will fill the void left by O’Riley, with Bogusz one of the many names floating around.
