Luis Palma seems like he is open to taking a second chance at Celtic, but his wish may be taken into reconsideration following transfer interest from a La Liga club.

Palma has hinted he would like to stay with the Hoops when his loan spell with Lech Poznan comes to an end this summer.

The winger impressed for Poznan at the weekend and his overall season in Poland has caught the eye of other clubs on the continent.

Sevilla interested in signing Luis Palma

According to reports in Spain via The Scottish Sun, Sevilla are interested in bringing Palma to the club.

Whether it is permanent or on loan will depend entirely on which division the Spanish side are in come the end of the season.

Sevilla are currently in a relegation battle in La Liga and are two points above the dreaded drop as it stands.

Poznan manager Niels Frederiksen wants to keep the winger at the club and believes they have a good chance of signing the Honduras international.

Celtic could make profit on Luis Palma

Although he has shown very little during his time at Parkhead, the performances of the 25-year-old overseas mean that Celtic can use that to their advantage in negotiations with potential suitors.

They could easily make more than the £3.5m they paid for him, which can be immediately reinvested back into the squad rebuild.

This is likely to be a bigger rebuild than the one overseen by Ange Postecoglou. It is likely that the Hoops will have to break their transfer record to land one of those big-name players and any extra funds generated to facilitate that will be most welcome.
