Three deals look close for Celtic and it's believed Juventus are ready to come to the table for Matt O'Riley
Juventus are reportedly keen on Celtic playmaker Matt O'Riley – with Tuttosport running their back page on a potential move.
He's a Celtic cult hero whatever happens but Brendan Rodgers wants him back and we understand the player has told Norwich he wants to leave - despite new manager Johannes Hoff Thorup's insistence on having a look at him in pre-season. Former midfielder Houghton, who racked up 73 appearances for Ireland, believes a return to Celtic, and Champions League football, is just what he needs. He said: “Adam has proved himself to be a direct and physical player with an eye for goal.
“Getting the chance to play in the new Champions League league phase against the best teams and defenders in Europe with Celtic this season would be huge for Adam. It would do him the world of good as a person and a player to gain that experience. For him personally, it would be a good challenge.” Kasper Schmeichel could be announced any time now as Brendan Rodgers goes for present over future between the sticks. The 37-year-old is the same age as the now-retired Joe Hart, but was Denmark's No.1 at the Euros and played regularly for Anderlecht last season. It's likely any deal will initially be shorter-term, possibly a year with an option, as Schmeichel looks to prove he does still have it at Champions League level.
