It’s inevitable that Matt O’Riley will leave Celtic this summer. The club has just got to make sure that they replace him with a player of similar quality…
An £18m bid was knocked back from Atletico back in January and the La Liga side still remain keen on the midfielder’s signature this coming summer.
But Diego Simone’s side like every other interested party will have to stump up a hefty sum to secure the Denmark international’s signature.
We are talking in the £25-£30 million bracket, nothing less will suffice if Matt is to leave Celtic Park. The club after all hold all the aces as Matt just recently signed a contract extension, so if they accepted anything less it would be sheer incompetence. That’s not going to happen though as Celtic may well reach a £30m transfer fee for the first time.
