Brendan Rodgers has continually stated he wants more additions to his side before the window shuts, and the 23-year-old’s signing could help meet his demands.
Playing his football in the Greek top flight with Aris Thessaloniki, Palma registered 21 goal contributions for the club across the 2022/23 season. He has abundant talent and quality, which has undoubtedly attracted the Hoops’ attention.
According to Greek journalist Giannis Chorianopoulos on Twitter, Aris Thessaloniki is ‘considering seriously’ Celtic’s 4.1m euro offer for Palma and that ‘it is close to their demands’. The fact numerous journalists and outlets alike have reported the Bhoys’ move for the winger suggests it may have substance.
Palma has proven his abilities over the past year in Greece. In all likelihood, he would come into Celtic and fight for a starting place immediately. Arguably, the gap in the team left by Jota remains vacant, and Palma could be the man to fill it.
