Despite recent rumours linking 19-year-old Manchester City attacker Carlos Borges with the Celtic, Football Scotland reports that Borges is not currently under consideration by Celtic.
Fuel was added to the fire of speculation this month when Jota departed for Al-Ittihad in a deal worth around £25 million. Given Celtic’s known connections with the City Football Group and their interest in players of Borges’ calibre, it was quickly suggested that the young attacker could be a potential target for the Hoops.

Yet, it seems that Celtic’s manager, Brendan Rodgers, is exploring other options for the summer transfer window. This is not to imply that Celtic is unwilling to invest heavily. Indeed, Rodgers has been granted permission to make significant investments if the right opportunity arises.
While undeniably talented, Borges comes with financial implications that could pose a substantial risk. The club must balance the potential benefits against the financial commitment that such a move would necessitate.
The anticipation and speculation surrounding the summer transfer window are intense. Supporters eagerly await news of new signings, hoping the club will secure the services of a player who can significantly impact Celtic’s season. Celtic fans must remain patient and see who Rodgers brings to Parkhead.
