The future of young Celtic’s star, Rocco Vata, is becoming increasingly intriguing as Italian Serie B side Como has entered the fray to compete with Bologna for his signature.
The 18-year-old forward and Republic of Ireland youth international has caught the attention of several European clubs, sparking a transfer battle for his services.
Most recently, Bologna had reportedly made an offer for Vata and was in discussions with Celtic. The possibility of Vata signing a pre-contract or making an immediate move was on the table. However, the latest development, as reported by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, adds a new dimension to the ongoing saga.
Como, currently playing in a lower division than Bologna, is believed to be able to offer Vata more immediate playing time, an important consideration for a young player seeking to develop his career. Additionally, Como’s interest includes a future-oriented project that could be enticing for Vata.
Vata, son of former Celtic player Rudi Vata, has shown his potential in the Lowland League for Celtic’s B team, although he has made only a handful of first-team appearances.
