With the Scottish Premiership over, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is eyeing potential summer reinforcements. Here are his top five transfer targets for the summer:
5 Dani Gomez
Dani Gomez is 18-year-old Real Madrid Juvenil A attacker. Gomez drew attention with his performances in the Youth Champions League, and he already featured for Real Madrid B senior squad.
He is an agile, explosive player, who is capable of breaking away from his man and be lethal from the “false nine” position, which is exactly what Rodgers needs. His price is reportedly in the region of three million pounds. However, it is unknown if Gomez is interested in moving to Celtic Park.
4 Charly Musonda
Charly Musonda is the 20-year-old winger who spent the first part of the season with Betis on loan from Chelsea. He is a modern winger, with solid technique and speed. Musonda is a realistic loan option for Celtic; he might replace Patrick Roberts, who will return to Manchester City.
3 Dominic Solanke
Dominic Solanke is another youngster from Chelsea that is not in Antonio Conte’s plans. Although he is only 19 and he is a home grown player, it seems he will leave the club in the summer. Numerous Premier League clubs will fight for his signature, but Brendan Rodgers will try to lure him to Glasgow with Champions League football.
2 Joe Gomez
The Liverpool defender was one of Brendan Rodgers’ favorite players back in the time when he was sitting on Liverpool’s bench.
As an 18-year-old, he has been given a first team opportunity, and everything was perfect for him, until a long-term cruciate ligament injury stopped his development. He struggled to break into the first team under Klopp, and he might leave the club in the summer.
1 Lucas Leiva
One of the most criticized Liverpool players will leave the club in the summer. Many European clubs would like to see him in their squad, but Celtic is certainly number one option for Brazilian. He was one of the crucial Liverpool players under Rodgers, and he might look to rejuvenate his career in Celtic.
