Report: Matt O’Riley Lays Cards on the Table Ahead of January transfer Window

Inter Milan’s attention may be focused on Celtic’s Matt O’Riley, but if they press ahead, they will likely be faced with a cold shoulder, according to Record Sport.

The Italian authorities are said to be considering a season-long loan with a large buy option for the Danish international in the summer. Celtic, on the other hand, aren’t looking to sell after signing O’Riley to a new long-term contract.

O’Riley has apparently laid his cards on the table, expressing his satisfaction in pulling on the Hoops and enjoying his time at Celtic Park. Despite the temptation of Serie A, his dedication to Celtic remains unshakeable, a feeling shared by the club’s top brass, who want to bolster rather than demolish their roster. As they battle The Rangers for the championship, the aim is clear: maintain the team intact and fighting strong, including talents like O’Riley.
Brendan Rodgers, the manager of Celtic, recently voiced his confidence in the face of rising interest in his players. O’Riley, a budget signing from MK Dons, has proven to be a fantastic investment, blossoming into a pivotal role under Rodgers.

With nine goals and eight assists this season, his worth has risen, and Celtic, if they wish to bargain, will be looking at record-breaking figures.

Even while rumors circulate, Celtic’s recruiting team is actively searching to add to their roster. Tiago Araujo of Estoril is on their radar, but financial complications with Benfica may stall things down.

Furthermore, Wolves’ Fabio Silva has been mentioned as a possible on-loan acquisition, demonstrating Celtic’s continuous strategy to strengthen rather than deplete their present team.
In essence, although Inter Milan’s desire reflects O’Riley’s increasing star, Celtic’s attitude, supported by the player’s personal contentment, indicates a long-term partnership.
