Current UEFA Conference League champions Olympiacos have sounded out fringe Celtic winger Luis Palma for a January transfer, according to Honduran outlet La Prensa.
The 24-year-old has fallen out of favour in Glasgow’s east end over the past 12 months.
Palma made a positive start to life at Celtic, regularly scoring domestically and in the UEFA Champions League.
He has started just two games this season, though, and is very much on the fringes of Brendan Rodgers’ squad: it took injuries to two wingers for him to even get a substitute appearance against Dundee United on Sunday.
A January departure is best for all parties, and according to La Prensa, two MLS sides, along with Olympiacos, who sit top of the Greek top flight, have ‘sounded out’ Palma for a move next month.
Getting fringe players off the books, as well as bringing in some added quality and firepower, is Rodgers’ plan for next month.
Palma isn’t a typical pacey, high-pressing winger the manager usually works with, and although he was signed under the stewardship of the Irishman, it doesn’t look like he is in the plans.
His recent performances have flattered to deceive, too, and certainly not helped his chances of staying at Celtic long-term.
