Fenerbahce consider Celtic’s Maeda – gossip
Celtic forward Daizen Maeda, 27, is reportedly being considered by Turkish giants Fenerbahce as they look to revamp their squad ahead of the new season. The Japanese international, known for his relentless pressing and pace, could be part of a major overhaul by the Istanbul-based club, according to Turkish outlet fotoMac.
In addition to this potential outgoing, Celtic have received a financial boost following Jeremie Frimpong’s high-profile transfer from Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool. The Scottish champions are set to pocket £5.5 million due to a sell-on clause inserted when Frimpong left Celtic Park in January 2021. This move represents a significant windfall for the club as they prepare for summer dealings.
Meanwhile, defender Gustaf Lagerbielke, 25, will return to Celtic following a loan spell. Although there were expectations of a permanent switch to Dutch side Twente Enschede, that move now appears unlikely, as reported by the Glasgow Times.
On the incoming front, Celtic have been linked with Youssef El Kachati, 25, a forward currently playing for Dutch second-tier side Telstar. El Kachati is said to be confident of securing a lucrative move this summer, with speculation around interest from Glasgow. The Moroccan-Dutch striker had an impressive season and may be seen as a potential addition to bolster Celtic’s attacking options.
Celtic’s summer is shaping up to be an eventful one as they balance potential departures and strategic reinforcements. With European competition on the horizon and domestic dominance to maintain, the club’s transfer moves will be under close scrutiny. Maeda’s possible exit, the Frimpong windfall, and links to new talent like El Kachati highlight the club’s active presence in the transfer market as they look to reshape and strengthen their squad.
