Celtic’s summer acquisition of £6 million “will get done,” as Rangers are “increasingly likely” to sell their star defender.

Summer business in the Scottish Premiership is heating up, with practically every club announcing their first signings of the transfer season. Celtic are the only team still to make their first move, although they are looking at a number of potential interesting acquisitions that might happen in the coming weeks. As another Scottish Premiership season begins, let’s look at some of the most recent transfer rumours.

£6 million Celtic transfer ‘will get done’

According to sources in Portugal, former Aberdeen manager Keith Wyness believes Celtic’s permanent signing of Paulo Bernardo ‘will get done’. According to Football Insider, the Hoops will pay around £6 million to transfer the midfielder to Parkhead full-time after spending the previous season on loan in Glasgow. It will be done. I spoke with someone in Portugal about this arrangement the other day, and they said it would cost roughly £6 million. The pay will not be an issue.

Rangers are “increasingly likely” to cash in on Connor Goldson.

With a number of clubs vying for his services. Prior to interest from Saudi Arabian teams, Birmingham City is thought to be leading the race to sign the center-back. Rangers have multiple players on their roster who are linked to departure this summer. This is according to another report from Football Insider.

According to Pete O’Rourke, there is “a lot of doubt” about Goldson’s future at Ibrox and a “strong possibility” that he will go back to his native England. After being relegated to League One the previous season, Birmingham is hoping to immediately return to the EFL Championship, and they have apparently spoken with Goldson’s representatives about a contract proposal. With the 31-year-old’s Glasgow contract set to expire in 2026, Rangers will have plenty of time to arrange a respectable sale without having to worry about his terms running out. Goldson played in thirty Scottish Premiership games last season, but a knee injury kept him out of all post-split activity and the Scottish Cup final.
