Celtic to sign "special" player for Rodgers in January

Uriel Lugt has reported that Internacional have signed Alexandro Bernabei from Celtic on a contract lasting until December 2028.

The Argentine defender had an impressive loan spell with the Brazilian club after quietly departing Celtic in March, leaving Greg Taylor as the only natural left-back option.

Lugt, an Argentinian journalist for Mercado de Pasas, has 13,600 followers on X and follows 738 accounts. While no transfer fee has been disclosed, it is believed Celtic secured a profit on the £3.5 million they paid to Lanús during the 2022 summer transfer window.

In his first season with Celtic, Bernabei showed promise but struggled to compete with Taylor, who was in top form. Under Brendan Rodgers, Bernabei’s opportunities became even more limited.

After arriving late to a team meeting before the opening SPFL match, he was excluded from the matchday squad and later omitted from the Champions League roster.

The 24-year-old managed four appearances in January and February when Taylor was injured, but Rodgers sometimes opted to play Tony Ralston out of position instead.

A permanent move to Internacional appears to be a favorable outcome for all parties. Celtic likely included a sell-on clause in the deal, ensuring they could benefit from any future transfer if Bernabei returns to Europe during his four-year contract.

Rodgers can sign his new Rogic in Celtic move for “special” star who’s “like Odegaard”

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is undoubtedly thrilled with his team’s outstanding performance during the 2024/25 season so far.

The Hoops remain unbeaten in the Scottish Premiership, sitting 14 points clear at the top of the table with 16 wins from 18 matches ahead of their Old Firm clash with Rangers this afternoon.

Additionally, they have already secured the League Cup, defeating their Glasgow rivals on penalties in the final at Hampden Park, a trophy they missed out on last season.

Despite their remarkable form across all competitions, Rodgers is keen to strengthen his squad during the January transfer window, which opened earlier this week.

Reports suggest the Celtic boss is targeting a reunion with Scotland international Kieran Tierney, aiming for a pre-contract agreement to bring him back in the summer on a free transfer from Arsenal.

Tierney, who joined the Gunners from Celtic in 2019, was one of Rodgers’ key players during his first tenure at Parkhead.

Another notable player from Rodgers’ initial spell at Celtic was midfielder Tom Rogic. Rodgers, who managed the club from 2016 to early 2019 before moving to Leicester City, relied heavily on Rogic, who made 105 appearances under his guidance.

This placed Rogic among the top ten most-utilized players by Rodgers during that period, alongside stalwarts like Tierney, Callum McGregor, and James Forrest.

Rogic, who retired in 2023 after leaving Celtic in 2022, was a creative left-footed midfielder known for his ability to deliver goals and assists consistently.

His impact was a vital component of Celtic’s success under Rodgers. In recent years, Matt O’Riley stepped into a similar role, scoring 18 goals and providing 13 assists in the league last season before transferring to Brighton & Hove Albion in the summer.

Rodgers is now on the hunt for another left-footed playmaker to fill the void. According to The Boot Room, Celtic have expressed interest in Manchester City’s young midfielder James McAtee.

The report indicates that Celtic have made inquiries about the England U21 international, although it’s unclear whether they seek a permanent deal or a loan.

However, completing a deal for McAtee may prove challenging. Numerous clubs across Europe, including Brentford, Atalanta, Fiorentina, Bologna, Fulham, West Ham, and Nottingham Forest, are reportedly interested in signing him.

While Pep Guardiola values McAtee’s contributions to Manchester City’s squad, the manager is open to a move if the player decides it is in his best interest.

Celtic will need to navigate competition from these clubs and convince both Manchester City and McAtee to agree to the transfer, making this pursuit a complex one.

Breakout Bournemouth star teases interest in Liverpool transfer

Player to Liverpool in January seems increasingly probable after journalist’s update

Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez has hinted at interest in a potential move to Liverpool but maintains that his main focus remains on finishing an outstanding season with the Cherries.

Alongside Dean Huijsen and several others, Kerkez has emerged as one of the breakout stars of the campaign, with Bournemouth still in contention for an unlikely Champions League spot.

At just 21, he has already attracted interest from several Premier League clubs, including Manchester United.

Liverpool have also been linked, as they begin to plan for life beyond Andrew Robertson, who is entering the latter stages of his decorated career.

A move to Anfield would see Kerkez reunite with his international teammate and close friend Dominik Szoboszlai—an exciting prospect not just for him, but for Hungarian football, with two of its brightest talents playing for one of the world’s biggest clubs.

“I’m just focused on playing and winning as many games as possible with my team. A lot can happen in football, but it’s pointless to predict,” Kerkez told Hungarian outlet Nemzeti Sport when the subject of Liverpool was brought up, not wanting to get ahead of himself.

There was, however, a tease of openness to the possibility in his response.

“It wouldn’t look bad, that’s for sure,” Kerkez added. “But it’s too early to talk about something like that. I have big goals with Bournemouth, we still have a lot of games to win, that’s the most important thing right now.”

Lifting the lid on his relationship with Szoboszlai, the youngster said: “We get along really well off the field, I try to pay attention to him because he needs attention, poor thing. I told him that you can slip up on anyone, but not me, because we both need the national team.”

Tottenham and Borussia Dortmund in Transfer Battle as Spurs Target Dibling and Gittens

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou is targeting Southampton’s Tyler Dibling and Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Gittens as part of his strategy to bring homegrown talent to Hotspur Way this summer, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.

Spurs were highly active in the winter transfer window, securing Mathys Tel on an initial loan from Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich, with an option for a permanent £45 million move.

His arrival followed the signings of Antonin Kinsky and Kevin Danso, the latter joining from Ligue 1 side Lens with a £20.9 million obligation to buy. Postecoglou is working closely with technical director Johan Lange to plan future transfers.

Spurs Set Sights on Dibling and Gittens Deals

Tottenham have earmarked Tyler Dibling and Jamie Gittens as key transfer targets as they refine their strategy to strengthen their homegrown quota for next season, GIVEMESPORT sources report. However, securing both deals may prove challenging when negotiations begin.

Spurs could benefit if Southampton face relegation to the Championship in their pursuit of Dibling. However, the south coast club rejected bids below £55 million during the winter window, determined to retain the 19-year-old winger.

Sources indicate Tottenham nearly reached an agreement for Dibling in January but backed away due to Southampton’s high demands and doubts over the player’s willingness to move mid-season. Gittens is also expected to command a hefty transfer fee.

England U21 international Jamie Gittens carries an £80 million price tag ahead of the summer, having become a key figure in Borussia Dortmund’s plans during a challenging season. Securing his signature would require Tottenham to break their club-record transfer fee.

GIVEMESPORT sources reveal that Spurs ruled out signing Gittens during the winter transfer window, deeming a deal unfeasible at the time. However, their pursuit could face further complications as Premier League rivals Chelsea and Arsenal are also in the race for the highly-rated winger.

Postecoglou Remains Interested in Guehi Move

Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi remains a key target for Tottenham, despite the club’s frustration in their attempts to secure a deal mid-season. However, Chelsea are currently leading the race for his signature, with additional interest emerging from abroad.

GIVEMESPORT sources reveal that Spurs made a £70 million bid for the 24-year-old in the final days of the winter transfer window, but Palace stood firm. Ange Postecoglou now faces a decision on whether to revisit negotiations in the summer.

The high valuations of Dibling, Gittens, and Guehi present challenges for Tottenham as they look to bolster their homegrown quota. Spurs have been monitoring the situation since last summer and are under pressure to balance their squad.

Additionally, GMS sources recently disclosed that Tottenham explored signing Angel Gomes last month or securing him on a pre-contract agreement before he becomes a free agent from Lille in the summer, as they continue their pursuit of homegrown talent.
