Celtic have been linked with a sensational move for Kieran Tierney that could evoke an emotional reunion between the Scotland international and Brendan Rodgers.
Earlier today, 67 Hail Hail informed you that Arsenal have renounced Kieran Tierney’s year-extension clause, putting the Bhoys on red alert because he will now be a free agent next July.
Crucially, the Celtic icon would be willing to reduce his £120,000 salary in order to seal a comeback to Parkhead, as speculations of his return have grown in intensity.
Tierney made his first Arsenal game in 19 months yesterday evening, in a 3-2 EFL Cup quarter-final win over Crystal Palace, and performed admirably in a slightly advanced post on the left flank.
However, his successful on-field accomplishments have been overshadowed by speculation that he may relocate north of the border. Brendan Rodgers’ two alternatives for completing a deal have been revealed.
Celtic exploring pre-contract and loan offer for Kieran Tierney
According to Sky Sports, Celtic are ‘exploring’ a pre-contract and loan offer as two options to attempt to complete a move for Tierney next month.
Arsenal is open to proposals in January due to his contract issue. There have been no more revelations from the outlet regarding potential other suitors.
Greg Taylor’s contract with Celtic expires at the end of the season, raising the possibility of changes at the left-back position.
Tierney had previously been sidelined for six months due to a hamstring injury sustained while playing for Scotland against Switzerland in Euro 2024.
What Kieran Tierney has previously said about a Celtic return
When asked about a possible return to Celtic in April of this year, Tierney refused to rule it out.
He said, “Who knows?” You never know in football; it’s a connection that I’ll always have, somewhere I imagine I’ll always be associated with if I leave any club, so you never know.
He would undoubtedly be interested in a theatrical homecoming. Hopefully, supporters will be able to watch one of the club’s great figures return to his former home field.
