Sources: Celtic close in on three late-window signings after deal agreed

Celtic are closing in on three late-window signings this week, sources have told Football Insider.

A loan deal for Barcelona left-back Alex Valle has been agreed, and he is undergoing a medical on Monday.

Matt O’Riley is set to join Brighton this week after a record fee was agreed, and Celtic are in talks to sign a replacement for him.

O’Riley has been a vital part of Brendan Rodgers’ team, and his goals and assists will need replacing for the rest of the season.

Celtic are close to agreeing a deal for Augsburg’s Arne Engels, with the club having monitored the 20-year-old in recent weeks.

The Scottish giants are also working on signing a wide forward to wrap up the transfer window.

Celtic want to create a competitive squad for a busy season

Celtic are aiming to make this trio of signings to assemble a competitive squad for the new campaign.

With extra Champions League games to be played this season, having more strength in depth will be beneficial to Rodgers.

Celtic could also need to replace Kyogo Furuhashi as the Japan international is being monitored by Premier League champions Man City.

The Scottish giants have made an undefeated start to the 2024-25 campaign, picking up four wins and only conceding a single goal in the process.

Up next for the Hoops is the first Old Firm derby of the season as they host Rangers on Sunday (1 September).
