Update: Celtic Receive Instant Response After First Offer to Sign Serie A Star…
Celtic FC’s efforts to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season have taken a significant step forward after the club received an immediate response to their opening bid for a highly-rated Serie A star.
According to sources close to the negotiations, Celtic submitted an official offer earlier this week to acquire the services of a top-tier defender currently plying his trade in Italy’s Serie A. The player in question is believed to be Adam Obert, the 22-year-old Slovak international who has impressed with his performances for Cagliari.
The Serie A club reportedly responded swiftly to Celtic’s approach, acknowledging the offer but indicating that negotiations will need to continue if a deal is to be reached. While the initial bid was not accepted, insiders suggest that the Italian side is open to discussions and could be persuaded if Celtic return with an improved offer.
Obert, who recently signed a contract extension with Cagliari through 2029, is seen as a long-term solution in Celtic’s defensive line. The player is also believed to be interested in the move, seeing Celtic as a major club with European ambitions and a passionate fanbase.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is reportedly pushing for the deal to be concluded swiftly, with the club aiming to finalize all key signings before their Champions League qualifying fixtures.
Fans will be watching closely as negotiations continue in the coming days.
