Paulo Bernardo latest transfer News as Celtic Fc show progress on deal

Brendan Rodgers is still building his own team at Parkhead, so Celtic needs to make some choices about the transfer market.

All signs point to the Irishman wanting to make a few changes to the team, which has already begun to happen over the last few weeks.

David Turnbull, Liel Abada, and Alexandro Bernabei are some of the most recent players to leave the club. However, there are still many more whose futures at the club are still unclear.

Adam Idah, a player from the Republic of Ireland, has made a big difference since coming on loan in January [Transfermarkt]. He has scored five goals in nine games.

Norwich City, his parent club, is said to be surprised by how well he has done. However, it is unclear whether Celtic will try to sign the 23-year-old on a permanent basis, as their contract does not include a buyout clause.

Meanwhile, midfielder Paulo Bernardo will also be looked at closely when it comes to his future. His time in Glasgow has had its ups and downs.

We now know that Joe Hart, the experienced goalie, will be leaving the team at the end of the season. This means that Rodgers needs to find a new number one goalkeeper.

Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, Trabzonspor’s Ugurcan Cakir, and RC Waalwijk’s Ettiene Vaessen are all names that have been thrown around as possible replacements.

What we know now about Paulo Bernardo’s future with Celtic
This season, Bernardo has played 25 times for Celtic in all competitions and has scored three goals and set up two others [Transfermarkt].

While he has been in and out of Rodgers’ team since then, his best game was against Rangers at the end of 2023. He scored the first goal in front of a loud Parkhead crowd, helping us beat our foes 2-1.

A Bola says that Celtic are seriously thinking about making a permanent move for Bernardo. His buyout option is €7.5 million, which is £6.4 million. If the player was sold, Benfica would keep a 30% sell-on option.

The news source says that the Bhoys may try to push any move plans to the end of the season in order to try to get a good price. In the meantime, Rodgers likes the player’s “discipline and quality,” even though he has been out of form lately.

It goes without saying that Bernardo’s present situation is a lot like Jota’s move to Parkhead in 2022.

No matter what, we might not have to wait much longer to find out what his long-term plans are as a Celtic player.
