Podence would be a great signing, a signal of Celtic’s intent | OneFootball

As you will probably know by now, Celtic have been linked with a move for Wolves winger Daniel Podence. The Portuguese talent has been bombed out at the West Midlands club and Celtic are looking to pounce to sign the exciting winger.

Brendan Rodgers is an admirer of Podence having attempted to sign him during his time in charge at Leicester City. Now a few credible sources have confirmed that Celtic have made moves to enquire about his availability.

Wolves are apparently wanting £12 million for the wide man who is entering the final year of his contract. Accordingly Celtic see scope for negotiating a lower fee most likely in the £7-£9 million range, and with the Portuguese international out of favour a deal could be on the cards.

It’s all down to the player as well of course and he will be on a decent wage so I’d imagine he’d have to take a hit salary wise, but the chance of winning trophies and guaranteed Champions League football could swing any potential move in our favour and he’ll be aware of the incredible riches that awaited his fellow countryman Jota after a couple of successful, trophy laden seasons in Scotland.

Podence is a player with a great pedigree who has played at the highest level Portugal, Greece and of course the English Premier League. He’s top quality and a player who could capture the imagination of the Celtic supporters.

Let’s hope we can get this one over the line. It would be a statement of intent by the club on our ambitions going forward.
