Matt O'Riley

Celtic midfielder Matt O'Riley is reportedly attracting interest from European giants such as Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool.

When the midfielder does eventually depart Celtic Park, he is likely to demand a huge fee, and that could continue to grow if he impresses in the Champions League. It wouldn’t come as a surprise to Celtic supporters if we were to see O’Riley put in more impressive performances against Real Madrid, RB Leipzig and Shakhtar Donestk in the coming months. The report also states that a potential late move in the transfer window could arrive for the midfielder, with Leicester and Newcastle United being the two sides most likely to try and make their move for O’Riley.
