Exclusive: Luis Palma Completes Celtic Medical Ahead of Move

Luis Palma has completed his Celtic medical, sources have told CeltsAreHere.com.

The player is expected to finalise his move to the Scottish club in the coming days.

Palma began his journey to the UK on Monday night and is set to sign a four-year contract with Celtic that will see him earn £500,000 per year.

The winger, who has been a standout player for his Aris in Greece, has been lauded by his current manager as a “big loss”, describing him as a player who has been involved in almost every goal the team has scored this season.

Celtic are set to pay a transfer fee of €5 million, inclusive of bonuses, for the 24-year-old.

Celtic are actively seeking to bolster their squad in various positions, including a left-back and a centre-back, particularly with the transfer window drawing to a close. Palma’s move will hopefully be the first of many before the deadline on Friday at midnight.

Rocco Vata set for Celtic transfer exit as ‘significant’ bid rolls in for rising Hoops star

The striker has struggled to make an impact under Brendan Rodgers and the challenge would only likely to get even bigger.

Rising Celtic star Rocco Vata is the subject of a significant six-figure bid.

A club from one of Europe’s top leagues has made the move, with Torino and Club Brugge among the sides who have ramped up their interest in recent weeks. It is unclear who has made the first move but it includes significant add-ons.

Celtic see Vata as one of the jewels from their academy but he is now in the final year of his contract. The Hoops want the striker to extend but it is looking increasingly unlikely. The 18-year-old wants to explore his options and is keen to see if a deal can be done this month. He has been frustrated with his lack of first-team opportunities. Republic of Ireland youth cap Vata has been on fire for the B team but has struggled to make an impact under Brendan Rodgers.

He was part of the first-team squad on the pre-season tour but returned to the train with the B team. Vata has scored five goals in four games in the Lowland League.

That saw him get promoted back to training with the first-team. Vata was in the Celtic squad for last weekend’s clash with St Johnstone but didn’t make the bench. His chances to break into the first team will become an even bigger challenge when Celtic wrap up a deal for winger Luis Palma and if they add another striker.
