Long-Term Celtic Target Drops Hoops Hint
With Michel-Ange Balikwisha hinting at a possible move to Parkhead, a name that Celtic supporters are acquainted with from the transfer rumour mill last summer has surfaced once more.
In July 2024, Celtic reportedly expressed considerable interest in the Royal Antwerp attacker and started talking to his representatives.
When rumors of a deal resurfaced in January, Balikwisha chose to remain in his current position while recuperating from his injuries and concentrating on getting fully ready for the Belgian team.
The winger has now reignited speculation about a potential move to Glasgow. After Antwerp defeated Gent 3-0, Balikwisha shared pictures of himself playing on Instagram.
The player’s social media activities attracted attention, and Celtic supporters quickly flooded the comments area.
In an obvious homage to Celtic, one fan sent a message with a four-leaf clover and double-eye emoji. In response, Balikwisha liked the post.
After that, he liked a second comment from the same user that said, “He liked it, Celtic,” and included the emoji for “soon.”
Such actions are frequently sufficient to start the transfer rumor mill among supporters, even though they are rarely evidence of anything specific.
The speed, direct running, and attacking danger of the Belgian attacker have long been lauded; these attributes align with Brendan Rodgers’ ideal wide player profile.
Recent claims that Tyrhys Dolan of Blackburn Rovers, a 23-year-old who is nearing the end of his contract at Ewood Park, is on Celtic’s radar further support the club’s ongoing winger surveillance.
Both Balikwisha and Dolan may be players of genuine interest to the Parkhead management as the summer transfer window draws near and Celtic prepares to restock the roster in anticipation of domestic and European qualifiers.
