Celtic Social Media Buzzes with Ola Solbakken Rumours
There are rumors and conjecture circulating on Celtic social media regarding Ola Solbakken possibly joining the team. The right winger from Norway has previously had his name associated with the Hoops.
His agents told us at CeltsAreHere.com two years ago that the club made him an offer soon after his outstanding performance that helped Celtic leave Europe. However, Liel Abada was hired by the team to fill the role.
Solbakken’s path hasn’t been the best since then. He signed a contract to play for Roma in Serie A, but things didn’t work out there, so he spent time on loan with Olympiakos in Greece. Nevertheless, he hasn’t had much success there, failing to leave a lasting impression and raising questions about his form that predate his days in Norway among both supporters and detractors.
Now, Solbakken has reportedly received another bid from Celtic, according to sources from Celtic Underground, a reliable source for Celtic transfer news. This time, it’s rumored to be a low-ball offer, an alluring one for the team given the player’s potential and past interest. At best, his current circumstances in Greece are precarious; Olympiakos has the option to purchase him, but considering his performance, it is unlikely.
For fans of the Celtics, this starts an interesting conversation. Would Brendan Rodgers think about including Solbakken in a revitalized Celtic team? The chance to sign a once-promising player for less money is alluring, and Rodgers’ reputation for player development might spark the Norwegian’s career again.
But the question still stands: Does Solbakken match Celtic’s existing roster and strategy? Although there is no denying his skill in Europe in the past, his current performance raises serious questions.
The team will undoubtedly strengthen during the officially opened transfer window, but who will be entering?
