Celtic continue to remain one of the busiest teams in Europe in the 2025 summer transfer window. Having won a double last season and made it into the knockout phase of the Champions League, a lot of people would have felt that there would not be too many changes at Parkhead. But that has not been the case at all.

On the contrary, this might be the biggest squad reshuffle that Celtic have had since the summer of 2021. Back then, the club were coming off a trophyless campaign and Ange Postecoglou had arrived as manager after Eddie Howe walked away from the job.

One of the players who was always expected to leave this summer is Luis Palma. He had spent the second half of the previous campaign away on loan at Olympiacos.

The Greek club had a buyout clause included in the deal. But they did not end up taking that option up as Palma failed to make much of an impression at Olympiacos.

While the winger was not able to make his stint in Greece permanent, he will next find himself playing his football in Poland. As reported by Celtic, Palma has joined Lech PoznaƄ on loan.

There have been rumours about this move for a long time now. And it has finally been made official. Now, let's see how things go for Palma in Poland.

Lech Poznan are believed to have a buyout option in the deal as well. He is believed to have turned down offers from the MLS, Mexico, Turkey and England to head to Poland. This time around, Palma will be looking to do enough to convince his loan club that his stay should be made permanent. Otherwise, it will be difficult to envision his future and where football will take him next.
