Italian club Atalanta has also shown interest, submitting multiple offers that Celtic turned down. Chelsea is reportedly monitoring the situation as well.
Despite the transfer speculation, Matt O’Riley has remained focused, playing a crucial role in Celtic’s opening day victory over Kilmarnock.
Brendan Rodgers has emphasized that clubs should value the player appropriately and not undervalue him based on the league. O’Riley has proven to be a shrewd investment since his £1.5 million move from MK Dons.
