Celtic FC have officially completed the signing of **Slovakian centre-back Adam Obert** from Serie A side Cagliari, in a move that has excited fans and bolstered the club’s defensive options ahead of the new season.
The 22-year-old defender, who has been a standout performer in Italy’s top flight, put pen to paper on a **five-year deal** with the Scottish champions after passing his medical in Glasgow earlier today. The transfer fee remains undisclosed, but sources suggest Celtic secured Obert for a figure well below his market valuation, following intense negotiations over the past week.
Obert expressed his delight at joining Celtic, telling club media:
> “It’s an honour to sign for such a massive club with incredible history and supporters. I can’t wait to experience the atmosphere at Celtic Park and help the team achieve even more success.”
Manager Brendan Rodgers hailed the signing as a **key addition**, praising Obert’s composure, aerial strength, and leadership qualities despite his young age.
> “Adam is a player we’ve admired for a long time. He brings experience from Serie A, international pedigree, and a hunger to keep improving. He fits perfectly into what we’re building here.”
The Slovakian international will link up with his new teammates immediately and could make his debut in the upcoming league fixture at Celtic Park.
With this signing wrapped up, Celtic’s transfer window is showing no signs of slowing down, as the club continues to target reinforcements for their European campaign.
