Oh Hyeon-gyu of Celtic is the most wanted person according to KRC Genk as of June 13. Additionally, it was said that he is eager to leave Brendan Rodgers’ team in the summer.

Later on that day, Belgian announced that the 23-year-old and the Jupiler Pro League team had reached a personal terms agreement.

HBVL revealed earlier this week that Genk and Celtic are still in negotiations for Oh Hyeon-gyu.

According to Het Laatste Nieuws, the Belgian team has already made a preliminary offer for the international player from South Korea. They state that Celtic rejected it, but they don’t go into specifics.

According to the source, Genk has “increased the bid” to secure the services of the Celtic striker, indicating that they are not ready to lose up on him. This makes it very evident that they wish to close a deal this summer.

HLN doesn’t discuss Genk’s most recent offer or the amount required to persuade Celtic.

After signing with them in January 2023, the attacker has played in 47 games for a total of over 1,300 minutes. Celtic will have to decide whether to keep him or not.

Matt O’Riley of Celtic is one of the two midfielders that Italian powerhouse Roma is keeping an eye on this summer.

O’Riley had an outstanding last season at Celtic, helping the team win both the Scottish Premiership and the Scottish Cup.

The 23-year-old Dane made 48 appearances for Brendan Rodgers’ team in all competitions, tallying 19 goals and 18 assists.

Roma is thinking of sending him to Italy this summer, while Atletico Madrid is interested in acquiring him.

But he’s one of two attacking midfielders Roma is now pursuing, according to Italian daily Corriere dello Sport (via Tutto Mercato).

After seeing what O’Riley has to offer, the Serie A powerhouses are impressed and have him on their wish list.

However, Tomas Suslov of Hellas Verona, who is presently with Slovakia in the European Championship squad, is also attracting interest from Roma.

The Serie A powerhouses are still undecided about which player to try to recruit this summer despite liking both profiles.

Gruda’s performances for Mainz this season, which saw them finish in 13th place in the Bundesliga, drew attention.

The winger has suitors in Germany and the Premier League, including Aston Villa and Newcastle, and is currently a wanted man for the summer.

While Bayern Munich is interested in signing Gruda, the winger has acknowledged that as a boy, he dreamed of playing for the Allianz Arena team. Gruda is also being pursued by Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund, and RB Leipzig.

When asked if joining Bayern Munich would be his dream move, Gruda replied, “Absolutely,” to the German daily Bild (via FCBinside). Every football player’s childhood dream is to play for Bayern Munich.

Celtic will have to make several important decisions this summer.

Celtic will have a busy roster when it comes to both moving and new players when the 2024 summer transfer window officially starts on Friday.

Fans are expecting that players like Matt O’Riley will remain on the team in certain situations, or that additional strikers would be needed if Kyogo Furuhashi goes, especially with Adan Idah returning to Norwich City following his loan period.

In other situations, though, it’s pretty certain that Celtic will bring in a top custodian and that the Bhoys will improve their squad.

After several successful years at Parkhead, including a triumph over Rangers in the Scottish Cup final, Joe Hart made the decision to retire at the end of the season.

Given how enormous of shoes to fill, which path does Brendan Rodgers take? Does he bring in a different knowledgeable goalie? Or do they bring on a budding talent to their team?

While Caoimhin Kelleher is one player linked to a potential move to Glasgow, Martin Dubravka of Newcastle United has also entered the picture.

Prior to Nick Pope joining the team, Peter Grant described the 35-year-old as a “quality” keeper who performed admirably in between the sticks.

Grant told Go Radio that despite his advanced age, he isn’t concerned since he thinks they “all look fantastically fit nowadays” and he is somewhat enthusiastic about the possibility of something happening here.

Grant remarked, “I thought he did really well, at Newcastle.” “Remember, before the Pope entered. I was taken aback by how well he was doing before he entered.

They made a great signing in that Pope was exceptionally intelligent. After playing a few games for Manchester United the previous season, Dubravka returned to Newcastle due to Pope’s injury and resumed playing for them.

He is 35 years old, yet once more, everyone seems incredibly fit these days. When teams like Manchester United are searching for you as well, that speaks much about your quality. That’s why I find it disappointing that there are people like Joe Hart, who looks amazing for his age. These days, all of these guys are able to persevere because their methods have entirely changed. He is an excellent goalie. Depending on the price. All of these things are happening because a few goalkeepers are currently being touted.
