Rising Star in the Making
Celtic fans are voicing a strong demand for the club to secure midfield maestro Matt O’Riley with a substantial new contract. This clamour follows his impressive goal-scoring display in the pre-season triumph against Chelsea, signalling his growing importance to the team.
Triumphant Celtic Overpower Chelsea
In a show of pre-season strength, Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic dismantled the English heavyweights with a decisive 4-1 victory. O’Riley’s performance, alongside goals from Kyogo Furuhashi, Luis Palmer, and Mikey Johnstone, ensured a jubilant outcome for the Scottish side. This win added to the excitement following their previous 4-3 success over Premier League champions Manchester City, marking a highly promising pre-season tour.
Hoops Fans Enthralled by O’Riley
The Celtic faithful have been left in awe of O’Riley’s contributions in the match against Chelsea, renewing their admiration despite the player catching the eye of several European clubs. The midfielder’s pivotal role in the recent victory has not gone unnoticed, with fans suggesting that his value has only escalated following his pre-season exploits.
Celtic’s Stance on O’Riley’s Future
Despite the swirling transfer rumours, Celtic are intent on retaining O’Riley’s services. Reports as of 27 July indicate that the club has set a staggering £25 million valuation for the midfielder, a testament to his perceived worth. With the Champions League group stages on the horizon, Rodgers is eager to assemble the most formidable squad, which includes keeping O’Riley in the fold.
Call for Action: Secure O’Riley’s Future
As the transfer window drama unfolds, Celtic supporters are clear in their message: the club must not only fend off interest from other teams but also proactively work to extend O’Riley’s contract. Fans are adamant that his recent performances justify a new deal and potentially an even higher transfer fee, should the club ever decide to part ways with the talented midfielder.
