Record Sport Understands on Matt O’Riley bids

According to the Daily Record Celtic haven’t received any bids for Matt O’Riley.

Tonight Sky Sports News reported interest from Girona in the midfielder who was linked with Inter Milan earlier this month.

O’Riley extended his Celtic contract in September but his form and the level of interest would suggest that it is highly unlikely that he will see out the bulk of that contract which runs until May 2027.

There seems very little sign of serious transfer business being completed this month but it can’t be assumed that no offers will come in for the midfielder in the final fortnight of this transfer window.

Selling O’Riley this month would be a massive risk for Celtic to take on, late on Thursday night in the Daily Record Michael Gannon reports:

Celtic are braced for big money bids for Matt O’Riley after La Liga shock troops Girona placed the Hoops ace at the top of their wish list.

Record Sport understands Parkhead chiefs have not yet received an offer for the 23-year-old – and the club is not looking to cash in on the playmaker in this window. O’Riley has attracted attention from several sides in England, Italy and Spain after a spectacular two years in Glasgow following his £1.5m switch from MK Dons.

The attacking midfielder has been one of the stars of the season and Serie A big guns Inter Milan are among his admirers. But now Girona are poised to enter the race as they look to build on their sensational start to the season in Spain.

Celtic return to action on Sunday when they face Buckie Thistle in the Scottish Cup, Rodgers is expected to host media conferences on Friday where transfer activity will take priority over Sunday’s match.
