Celtic Sets €4m Price Tag for Luis Palma Amid Transfer Interest
Celtic FC has reportedly set a €4m price tag for winger Luis Palma, who has been linked with a move away from the club. According to El Heraldo, Celtic has received bids from Germany and France for the player, but these have been rejected.
Palma, who joined Celtic from Aris last year, has struggled to establish himself in the team this season. Despite scoring 10 goals and providing 10 assists in his debut season, Palma has made just 10 appearances this season, with Daizen Maeda and Nicolas Kühn dominating the wide areas.
It appears that Celtic is open to selling Palma if their valuation is met and if they can source a suitable replacement. However, the club’s manager, Brendan Rodgers, seems to prefer other options, with Palma falling down the pecking order.
The player’s desire for regular first-team football is understandable, given his age and profile. However, it seems that Palma does not fit Rodgers’ requirements for pace and power, which Maeda and Kühn have excelled at this season.
Celtic’s decision to set a €4m price tag for Palma may be a strategic move to ensure they receive a fair valuation for the player. However, it remains to be seen whether any club will meet this valuation.
In related news, Celtic has confirmed a pay-per-view gesture ahead of their upcoming match against Dundee United. The club has also been linked with other transfer targets, as they look to strengthen their squad during the January transfer window.
Only time will tell if Palma will leave Celtic and join another club. One thing is certain, however: the player’s future is uncertain, and Celtic’s decision to set a €4m price tag for him will likely have significant implications for the club’s transfer plans.
