Celtic have been linked with a plethora of potential additions with the transfer window now in full swing at Parkhead.
Brendan Rodgers will have designs on assembling a squad capable of thriving on both domestic and European fronts, hopefully building on his double-winning success last term.
Goalkeeper is a critical priority for Celtic, with Newcastle United’s Martin Dubravka, Sparta Prague stopper Peter Vindahl Jensen, and Lorient’s Yvon Mvogo mentioned as potential successors to Joe Hart.
From a defensive standpoint, Salernitana man Flavius Daniliuc is someone the Bhoys are believed to hold ‘concrete interest’ in.
The Austria international spent the second half of 2023/24 at Red Bull Salzburg, who reportedly have an option to buy the 23-year-old.
Now, it appears the Admiral Bundesliga outfit have made a decision on that front, per a fresh report.
The latest on Flavius Daniliuc’s future amid Celtic links
According to TuttoSalernitana, Salzburg have not activated Daniliuc’s option to buy, and he is now set to return to Salernitana. However, they aren’t out of the running, with a swoop for his services on restructured terms not beyond the realm of possibility.
The outlet claim that Celtic remain keen on the defender two years after he joined the Serie B outfit in a deal worth €5 million (£4.2 million). It is believed they want to make a return on that investment in the event of any potential sale.
Per Transfermarkt, the 23-year-old made 27 appearances in all competitions combining his exploits for both clubs across 2023/24, registering three assists in the process.
Undoubtedly, he represents the type of profile that Celtic should be looking to target, given his age, sell-on value and level of pedigree.
Nevertheless, it remains to be seen if the reigning Scottish Premiership champions will firm up their admiration of the Vienna-born man while he is involved at EURO 2024 with Austria.
