Celtic want to offload a £16,000-a-week player who feels betrayed by manager Brendan Rodgers this summer, and three clubs have been identified as potential suitors. Celtic prepare for summer with another treble on the cards.
Celtic prepare for summer with another treble on the cards.
The Hoops and Rodgers are on set for another domestic treble, having previously won the Scottish League Cup and the Scottish Premiership ahead of rivals Rangers.
Celtic will cap off another great season with a Scottish Cup final victory over Aberdeen next Saturday at Hampden Park. However, the focus behind the scenes will rapidly shift to the 2025/26 season.
Left-back Kieran Tierney has already agreed to return to Celtic Park on a free transfer after his contract with Arsenal expires, and he might be the first of many to arrive in Glasgow.
Celtic are interested in signing Mathias Kvistgaarden, a striker from Brøndby, and Veljko Milosavljevic, a right-back from Crvena Zvezda. A slew of new arrivals may cause several players to leave the club, including Luis Palma, who appears destined to leave.
The winger was loaned to Olympiacos with the option to buy back in January, but the Greek club will not make the move permanent in the summer.
Palma confirmed in March that he is still with Celtic. As long as there is no transfer, I will be grateful to Celtic, but now is the moment to defend Olympiacos.” According to a fresh claim, the attacker may not be with Celtic Park for long.
Celtic transfer update on Luis Palma leave, with three teams as probable destinations.
With Olympiacos not exercising their option to sign Palma, Celtic must decide what to do with the £16,000-per-week winger this summer.
According to a new update from Greece, Celtic no longer expect Palma to play next season and want to move him on before the 2025/26 season, with the player himself looking to depart since he believes he has been abused by Rodgers.
Panathinaikos, AEK Athens, and PAOK FC are all mentioned as possible destinations for the Honduran international, and a return to Greece’shouldn’t be ruled out’. Palma hasn’t exactly stood out for Olympiacos, scoring only one goal and providing one assist in 12 games.

Celtic paid £3.5 million to recruit the 25-year-old from Aris FC in 2023, and with his Parkhead contract not expiring until 2028, the Hoops will be looking to reclaim as much of that fee as possible in the coming months, making this one to watch in the coming weeks.
