Player ‘very close’ to leaving Celtic – Brendan Rodgers’ side agree deal, medical on the way

We reported on Spanish reports four days ago that Rayo Vallecano had made a deal with Luis Palma of Celtic and was attempting to sign a contract with Brendan Rodgers’ team. According to a recent rumor from Estadio Deportivo, the winger’s transfer to the La Liga team is now in the “final phase.”

In the winter transfer window, a recent development on Sunday puts the Celtic player “very close” to Rayo Vallecano. The 24-year-old’s loan deal has “already closed the agreement” between Celtic and the Spanish team, and the two teams are currently finalizing the specifics.
