Celtic Fc Midfielder Matt O’Riley to move to Atletico Madrid in jaunary transfer window! Falkirk Midfielder Stephen McGinn gave an answer concerning the Celtic best player

Atletico Madrid’s bid for Celtic forward Matt O’Riley broke on Wednesday, bringing with it the news that Brendan Rodgers and Celtic fans had been waiting for.

Celtic has shown no indications that they intend to sell the 23-year-old during the January transfer window, so there is no need to panic just yet.

Atletico Madrid came calling for Scottish Premiership winners Celtic’s Matt O’Riley, according to Sky Sports, offering a loan with a buyout clause.

In an interview with Go Radio, Celtic’s Stephen McGinn said that, given the club’s history, trading their “best player” is not something they will be doing this month.

Also, the Parkhead boardroom heavy hitters are in a great position due to the fact that the Danish star only just inked a new agreement.

Accordingly, there is no pressing need to sell at this time. Plus, even throughout the summer, the value remains the same.

However, Stephen McGinn cited Jota’s summer exit to illustrate the impossibility of Celtic’s current situation.

“No, I don’t see any team giving out their best players in January on loan,” stated McGinn.

Celtic have been successful in the past five to ten years, but I’ve noticed that they always trade away their top players over the summer, so they have plenty of time to find replacements.

It would be completely illogical. In my opinion, Matt O’Riley will not be leaving this January until an offer as strong as the one from Jota comes along.

When summer arrives…

There is no need to be concerned about O’Riley’s potential sale at this point; Rodgers needs him to help win a title.

However, O’Riley’s sale may be imminent in the summer, especially if substantial offers are made for him.

After receiving £25 million, Jota relocated to Saudi Arabia. The club’s best-ever transfer purchase. In order for O’Riley to depart, surely that must be broken?
