Celtic have plenty on their plate ahead of the transfer window.
And in truth, Luis Palma won’t be high on Wilfried Nancy’s list of priorities.
Palma has had an impressive few months on loan in Poland, rediscovering his form after a season in the wilderness.
As a result, it was reported that Nancy was considering recalling Palma, but these rumours were quickly quashed by sources in Honduras.
And with the winter window approaching, Palma has been discussing his future after rediscovering his form with Lech Poznan.
Luis Palma makes stance clear on Celtic future
Palma has already reached double digits in goal involvements with his new club, helping them to the knockouts of the Europa Conference League.
He has been used in a more central position at times, affording him more freedom on the pitch.

The problem for Lech is that Palma’s buy option in his loan is worth €4.5 million, more than double their record transfer fee.
This casts doubt over the Honduran staying there permanently, but for the first time since the unexpected Celtic return links, he has discussed his situation.
Palma said: “I feel happy in Poznan. My goal is to win the Polish championship. I’m looking forward to the second half of the season.
“When my agent first called me and said he saw a possibility of me joining Lech, I quickly decided to move. I think I thought about it for maybe two or three days with my family, and then I agreed.
“I was very excited when I arrived in the city and hoped to have a successful season with the team. So far, we’re on the right track.
“I’m doing my best to contribute and I am happy with my goals and assists. I’m very satisfied and happy in Poznan.
“From the very beginning, I’ve had a great working relationship with manager Niels Frederiksen, as well as with the entire coaching staff. I can always turn to someone for help. I’m very grateful for the trust the coach has placed in me.
“We’re fighting on three fronts for trophies and that’s especially important.
“We will have to wait and see what the future holds. I hope this season will be a good one for us. As I said, I want to finish it in the best possible way. What happens after that depends only on God.
“I’m in Poznan with my wife and we love it here. I’m really glad we can get to know the city better.”

Celtic’s other players out on loan
Palma isn’t the only signing from Celtic’s not-so-great 2023 summer transfer window who is now loaned out; Maik Nawrocki is currently injured at Hannover.
Also signed by Celtic that summer is Odin Thiago Holm, who has made just five appearances in MLS this year for LAFC amid a battle with a rare calf condition.
Stephen Welsh and Adam Montgomery are both out on loan elsewhere in the Scottish Premiership – the former is impressing at Motherwell, but the latter has been out for two months with injury.
Kyle Ure, Jude Bonnar and Sean McArdle are among the Celtic youngsters currently out on loan in the second tier.
