Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers
HIGHLIGHTS
Celtic hope to loan Wolves’ Hugo Bueno, but no deal yet. Bueno appeared in 25 games last season.
Wolves are still assessing Bueno’s need for minutes. A loan may happen later in the transfer window.
Talks ongoing to extend Greg Taylor’s contract. Rodgers wants to keep him long-term.
Celtic are hoping to loan Wolverhampton Wanderers’ 21-year-old left-back Hugo Bueno, but no agreement is close. The Scottish champions are trying for a season-long loan after failing to land Bueno in January.
Bueno is behind Rayan Ait-Nouri in the pecking order at Molineux, but still featured 25 times in all competitions last season. Wolves have already made it clear to Celtic that they don’t want to engage yet, as they are still assessing whether Bueno needs to be sent out for additional minutes. As a result, a loan will only happen later in the window. Wolves are in no rush and could choose to keep Bueno in their senior squad this season.
Rodgers Discusses Potential Bueno Move
The Celtic boss is tight-lipped
Brendan Rodgers
“I obviously know him from his time playing in the Premier League, but I have nothing more to say than that,” Rodgers told GIVEMESPORT.
Rodgers was also tight-lipped about Paulo Bernardo, but Celtic are believed to be closing in on a deal for the 22-year-old Benfica midfielder, who has already agreed a five-year contract.
“Nothing from my end. I haven’t spoken to [CEO] Michael [Nicholson] recently. There has been a process in place to try and get players in, but I have nothing more to add to that.”
Celtic have already signed free agent Kasper Schmeichel, who won the 2015/16 Premier League with Leicester, and 22-year-old Finnish keeper Viljami Sinisalo, who has joined from Aston Villa for around £1m.
The 54-time Scottish champions would love Adam Idah to return following his nine goals in 19 games last season, but Norwich City have rejected a bid in excess of £4m. Talks are also ongoing to extend Greg Taylor’s contract, which expires in 2025.
“I have enjoyed working with Greg and he’s someone we want to tie down for the longer term,” said Rodgers. “There was communication towards the end of last season. I also met with Greg’s agent to talk through the impo
- rtance of where I see him but also to be open and honest about where everything is at. It’s clear we want to keep him.”
