Luis Palma’s Celtic career is falling apart.

After a promising start to his Hoops journey, his performances faded and he isn’t fancied by manager Brendan Rodgers anymore.

He spent the latter half of last season with Olympiacos, but failed to make a serious impact that would convince the Greek giants to pursue another deal this summer.

Rodgers confirmed earlier this week that the Honduran will likely exit on loan again, and it seems he will join Lech Poznan.

Journalist Sebastian Staszewski revealed the move is close to completion and Celtic will insert an option to buy clause in the loan worth around £3.8m.

Now, more details about Palma’s switch to Lech Poznan have been unearthed.

When Palma will officially leave Celtic on loan

According to Central American Football, Palma will travel from Honduras to Poland on Saturday to finalise the loan switch.

It is then expected Palma will be unveiled as Lech Poznan’s latest signing on Monday, and his shirt number will be 77.

Lech Poznan play Breiðablik in the Champions League second qualifying round on Tuesday, but Palma won’t be in the squad.

So the Celtic outcast could make his debut in the second leg on July 30.

Palma wasn’t in Celtic’s Portugal camp squad

Palma was allowed extra time away from Celtic because of his involvement in the CONCACAF Gold Cup with Honduras.

He featured in all seven games for his country as Honduras reached the semi-final stage against Mexico, losing 1-0 in the end.

Palma scored a dramatic injury time winner against Curacao to secure progression to the quarter-finals against Panama, who Honduras beat on penalties.

Now, he will look to revitalise his career with Lech Poznan in Poland.
