Gustaf Lagerbielke is available this window if a team can meet Celtic’s valuation either as a long or on a permanent deal. Lecce was the first to show interest in the Swede, however, their reluctance to cover his wages has put a damper on any potential deal.
It seemed like Lagerbielke might be staying put at Celtic, at least for the time being. However, the transfer winds are shifting again.
Now, another Serie A club, Genoa, has entered the fray, keen to secure Lagerbielke’s services on loan. Unlike Lecce, Genoa appears more willing to meet Celtic’s financial conditions.
According to TUTTO mercato, Serie A side Genoa are targeting Gustaf Lagerbielke as a replacement for their centre-back Radu Drăgușin who looks set to join Ange Postecoglou at Spurs.
This new development has certainly stirred the pot. Genoa’s could offer Gustaf the chance to get more game time, something that has been elusively limited at Celtic. For the Bhoys, it’s a pragmatic approach; keen to ensure their asset gets valuable playing time without straining the wage budget.
Gustaf has scored his first senior goal for Sweden and his first champions league goal this season, but he’s not had the best time trying to break into the Celtic first team.
The Hoops have a lot of defenders on their books and Rodgers is keen to lighten the load
The latest news regarding Gelhardt is that Celtic and Rangers are both fighting the likes of Plymouth Argyle for his signature. What a joke they have both become trying to sign a striker who couldn’t score in a barrel of f***ies . If Celtic can’t afford decent players with £72M in the bank what hope do we have for the future . Desmond and the Liewell’s should be ashamed.
