(sabasports resport) According to As, Atletico Madrid are interested in Celtic midfielder O ‘Riley. However, Celtic could be asking for as much as €40m for the 23-year-old Denmark international. O ‘Reilly has started all 49 games for the Celtics this season, scoring 19 goals and adding 18 assists.
O ‘Reilly has been a target for Atletico over the past 12 months. Although Atletico are confident of completing the deal, Celtic are determined to hold on to their key player. Therefore, the high transfer fee has become a major problem facing Atletico. In this case, Atletico need to first purge the team’s midfielder Saul (Saul).
According to the report, Atletico will make a formal offer for O ‘Reilly if Sauer agrees to break his contract. However, Atletico’s offer may not match Celtic’s request for 40 million euros. This means that the two sides still have to negotiate further on the transfer fee.
O ‘Reilly’s brilliance and potential make him an important candidate to rebuild Atletico’s midfield, and the club’s financial situation and the availability of existing players will determine whether the move can be made.
