Atalanta have made further strides in their pursuit of Matt O’Riley, with the transfer seemingly closer to completion given the ongoing situation involving Teun Koopmeiners.
Celtic have reportedly reduced their demands, putting Atalanta in a stronger position to seal the deal.
Sky Sport Italia recently reported the developments and suggested that the Italian club looks increasingly likely to finalise the transfer.
A source close to the negotiations commented, “Celtic’s willingness to lower their asking price has facilitated progress in talks.”
This move is anticipated to provide Atalanta with the needed leverage to push forward in acquiring O’Riley, thereby unlocking the potential move for Koopmeiners.
Atalanta fans will be keenly watching as this transfer saga evolves, hopeful that the club’s midfield will be bolstered by the addition of the talented O’Riley.
As the negotiations continue, further updates are expected in the coming days.
