Celtic’s interest in Alex Collado appears to be coming to a rapid end with the attacking midfielder reported to be in advanced talks to join Elche. 

With his contract expiring in May 2024 the 23-year-old seems certain to leave the Nou Camp with Barcelona looking to balance the books with some big name signings. 

Celtic’s interest in Collado surfaced on Tuesday morning but the same reporter that broke that news, Albert Roge, has tweeted an update.

Elche, as @AdriaAlbets points out, is the best placed to take Álex Collado. It’s advanced. – It would be a simple assignment – He has a contract until 2024 and there is no intention to extend. – Girona, Valladolid and Almería also want him + Celtic and Olympiakos. 

There have been various claims about Celtic’s transfer interests this summer with Vinicius Souza going on loan to Espanyol and Fausto Vera opting to join Corinthians from Argentinos Juniors. 

At recent media conferences Ange Postecoglou has said that Celtic are still active in the transfer market but it looks unlikely that there will be any major additions before the end of the month. 

David Turnbull and Matt O’Riley offer Celtic two attacking options from midfield with Callum McGregor another now that Aaron Mooy offers cover as a more defensive midfielder.
