Manager awaits Celtic player ‘with open arms’ – Determined to take him from…
Atalanta’s manager, Gian Piero Gasperini, is eagerly waiting to sign Celtic’s Matt O’Riley this summer.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian club is working to bridge the gap between their offer and Celtic’s demands for the midfielder.
Atalanta values O’Riley for his well-rounded skills and potential for future development.
The club sees him as a key addition to enhance their squad both qualitatively and quantitatively.
Despite their interest, negotiations have been ongoing, with Celtic’s price tag set at €26 million plus €3 million in bonuses. Atalanta’s latest offer was €18 million plus €3 million in bonuses, leaving a significant gap.
However, O’Riley has expressed a preference for joining Atalanta, which gives the club confidence in securing the deal. Talks with O’Riley’s agents are ongoing to prepare for a potential agreement with Celtic.
