‘Exciting’ 22-year-old player could leave Celtic before deadline day.
Celtic’s summer transfer activity has been perplexing to say the least. With Hyeokkyu Kwon out on loan and Gustaf Lagerbielke on his way out, Parkhead fans will be wondering what was going on in the recruitment department.
Only one of the eight players signed by the team this summer, Luis Palma, would be regarded successful.
Another one appears to be on its way out the door. TBR Celtic reported in December that Celtic plans to loan out four summer acquisitions this month.
Kwon and Lagerbielke were named in that piece alongside Maik Nawrocki. The Polish defender seems to be back in the frame after making a couple of appearances under Brendan Rodgers recently.
So who is the fourth name I hear you say? Well, it’s a player that Celtic paid a record fee for that seems to be heading out the door.
Marco Tilio is touted for Celtic exit
Marco Tilio was recruited by Celtic in the summer for about £1.5 million, the largest fee ever paid for a player directly from Australia. [Sky Sports].
A recent source suggests that Tilio, who has only made two appearances and is struggling to adjust in Glasgow, may be the next player to leave Parkhead.
According to a source published by Football Scotland, “He’s not the only new recruit who’s failed to settle [Gustaf Lagerbielke] at the current champions as Hyeok-Kyu Kwon has been shipped out to St Mirren plus Marco Tilio, who’s only featured twice, could depart before Deadline Day too.”
Australian international coach Ufuk Talay predicted Tilio to be a ‘exciting player’ who would ‘turn heads’.
And, after only two appearances this season, totaling 27 minutes of football [Transfermarkt], Tilio appears to be the next of eight summer signings poised to leave the club before the market closes on Thursday night.
