Brendan Rodgers is eyeing the return of a former Celtic player to replace midfielder Matt O’Riley, with the club interested in re-signing Jota on loan according to HITC.
The 23-year-old Denmark international is on the verge of completing a move to Brighton & Hove Albion in a deal that will set the record for the highest transfer fee received by a Scottish club, with the Hoops set to receive up to £30million.
Former Liverpool manager Rodgers has confirmed that the money that will be brought in will be reinvested across the entire squad, rather than being used to solely replace the central midfielder. However, there is one former Celtic man in mind to come in a plug the gap that O’Riley is set to leave, on a short-term basis.
In order to replace midfielder Matt O’Riley, Brendan Rodgers is reportedly considering the return of a former Celtics player. HITC reports that the team is interested in re-signing Jota on loan.
In a deal that will establish a record for the largest transfer price earned by a Scottish club, Brighton & Hove Albion will get up to £30 million for the 23-year-old Denmark international. The agreement is almost complete.
The money that will be brought in will be distributed among the entire team rather than only being used to replace the central midfield player, as former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has stated. On the other hand, one former Celtics player is being considered to temporarily fill the void left by O’Riley.
