Amid swirling transfer rumours, Celtic’s Matt O’Riley took to Instagram to share a moment with teammate Kyogo.
The post, featuring a picture of the duo after a successful pre-season match where Kyogo netted a hat-trick and O’Riley also scored, was captioned “dusting off the cobwebs.”
This social media update comes amidst intense speculation about O’Riley’s future, particularly after Atalanta’s £15 million bid was swiftly rejected by Celtic, who value him at about £30 million.
As Celtic prepares to embark on their USA Tour, questions linger about whether O’Riley will be part of the squad flying out, especially with Atalanta expected to come back with an improved offer.
Most Celtic fans have accepted that O’Riley will leave this summer, despite penning a long-term deal last season. When Atletico Madrid came knocking in January, the writing was on the wall.
If it is a club like Atalanta, who are a good side, playing good football and in the Champions League, it’ll be a good move for the player.
