Things show no sign of slowing down at Celtic this summer. The club have already been involved in a long list of moves, both incomings and exits. They have already signed seven signings in total, bringing in Kieran Tierney, Benjamin Nygren, Shin Yamada, Hayato Inamura, Ross Doohan, Callum Osmand and Isaac English. On the other hand, plenty have headed for the exit door as well.
The wing depth has been particularly weakened. It started with the injury to Jota, which will keep him out for the rest of the year. But that is just scratching the surface when it comes to how light on options the Hoops might be there.
Nicolas Kuhn has joined Como on a permanent basis. Luis Palma is on his way to Lech Poznan. And now, another winger is set to depart.
As reported by Anthony Joseph, Rapid Vienna have agreed a deal to sign Marco Tilio. It’s understood that the clubs have agreed a deal with an obligation to buy for £1.3 million. The initial loan fee is due to be around £350,000.
'Agreed a deal' - Anthony Joseph confirms Celtic transfer news
Initially, it had been suggested that Melbourne City FC wanted Tilio back. It could have been on a third loan spell with the club or on a permanent basis this time around.
Also, it had been thought that there was going to be an option to buy included in Tilio's move to Rapid Vienna. But now, it appears to be an obligation instead, which is good news for Celtic as it seems like they do not envision a future for the Aussie international at Parkhead.
We can only wish Tilio the best of luck. He was one of the first signings of Brendan Rodgers' second stint at Celtic but it clearly did not work out.
