Atletico Madrid expected to re-ignite interest in Celtic star this summer following rejected offer
Atletico Madrid have been making big moves in the transfer market over the last few days. Horatiu Moldovan has arrived from Rapid Bucharest to be the club’s new backup goalkeeper, while deals for Arthur Vermeeren and Moise Kean. It could have been even better too, as they submitted an offer for Celtic’s Matt O’Riley.
However, that offer was rejected by the Scottish champions, as confirmed by their head coach, Brendan Rodgers, who stated that O’Riley will not be sold during the winter transfer window.
This rejection does not appear to have deterred Atleti too much, as Ruben Uria has reported that they could look to re-ignite their interest in the Danish midfielder during the summer, when Celtic are much more likely to be open to a sale.
O’Riley has been the standout player in the SPFL Premiership this season, and he also impressed during the Champions League group stages, where Atletico Madrid came up against Celtic. He is expected to move on in the summer at the very latest, and it would be shrewd move if he does end up in the Spanish capital.
