Another piece of good news for Celtic as Ex-star returns back to training…
Celtic’s pursuit of a new left-back has hit another roadblock as the club reportedly turned their attention back to Liverpool’s Owen Beck after being rebuffed by Wolves for Hugo Bueno. Brendan Rodgers is keen to bring in competition for Greg Taylor, but so far, finding the right fit has been a challenge.
The bhoys were close to landing Beck back in January, with a loan move from Liverpool seemingly on the cards. However, Liverpool’s then-manager Jurgen Klopp unexpectedly fielded Beck as a late substitute in a January match, which complicated matters. Under FIFA regulations, a player cannot appear for three different clubs in a single season. This last-minute appearance for Liverpool meant Beck’s potential move to Celtic had to be shelved, and he was instead sent back out on loan to Dundee.
Now, as Celtic continue their search for a solid addition to their defence, they’ve once again set their sights on Beck. According to MailSport’s Lewis Steele, Celtic are interested in securing the 21-year-old on loan. However, Liverpool are more inclined towards a permanent sale this summer, which could potentially complicate negotiations.
With the clock ticking and the need for reinforcements pressing, it remains to be seen whether the bhoys will be able to bring Beck to Parkhead, or if they’ll need to look elsewhere to bolster their ranks before the transfer window slams shut.
Three days before the new season kicks off, Celtic finally confirmed their first outfield signing of the summer, bringing some relief to a fanbase eager for fresh faces. After a summer of speculation and drawn-out negotiations, the bhoys have secured Bernardo from Benfica, a familiar face who impressed during his loan spell at Parkhead.
Bernardo’s arrival has been eagerly anticipated, with the midfielder showing plenty of promise during his previous stint with the club. His ability to dictate play from the centre of the park and his keen eye for a pass will undoubtedly strengthen Brendan Rodgers’ options as the team looks to defend their domestic crown and make strides in Europe.
