Celtic are eyeing a price drop for the 26-year-old who has scored more goals than Maeda

Celtic are looking to land the in-form star for a cut-price fee in the 2024 summer transfer window.

Celtic transfer rumours

2023/24 was another outstanding season for Celtic. It also defeated Rangers and won the Scottish Premiership title and won the Scottish FA Cup title. Their showing in the League Cup – a second round exit – and their Champions League run was by no means satisfactory, but it was still a solid season for the Hoops, who continue to be a force in Scottish football.

However, as with any top team, Celtic will need to continue to improve and renew to maintain their place as the best team in Scotland. To do this, Brendan Rodgers and others. they appear to be looking to make a few new additions to their squad during the 2024 summer transfer window.

The Hoops are said to be one of the clubs interested in signing Bristol City striker Tommy Conway. With Joe Hart hanging up his boots at the end of last campaign, Celtic are in the market for a new goalkeeper and are preparing a 'legal approach' to sign Newcastle United stopper Martin Dubravka this summer.

Elsewhere, Celtic are said to be interested in Salernitana defender Flavius ​​Daniliuc, who spent his formative years at Real Madrid. Manager Brendan Rodgers is said to be 'keen' to sign on-loan star Adam Idah from Norwich City after his impressive performance with the club this season.

Celtic's price drop for a player who scored more goals than Maeda

Now, a new name has been linked with a move to Celtic Park. The player in question is Dundee midfielder Luke McCowan. Sky Sports reports that the champions are 'watching' the 26-year-old as he prepares to enter the final year of his contract.

The state of McCowan's contract means Celtic could get a bargain on a reduced deal, as he enjoys a good 2023/24 campaign, Dundee could either sell him this summer or risk losing him on a free next year. McCowan was one of Dundee's brightest stars as they finished 6th in the league, and losing him will no doubt hurt the Dark Blues.

However, his arrival could be bad news for Celtic's Daizen Maeda. Both players usually operate in the same position in their respective sides, and after McCowan managed Maeda in the SPFL this past term, Rodgers may opt to bench the 26-year-old instead of his new signing.
