Celtic will be busy in this summer transfer window after losing the Scottish Cup final to Aberdeen. That must have provided Brendan Rodgers' side with renewed motivation to go out and complete the treble next season. While that is a lot easier said than done, it is certainly possible for a team that has won five in the last nine years.
Certain improvements need to be made to this squad though. It has felt like the squad is starting to stagnate a bit, having won four-straight league titles, and it might be time to freshen things up a bit.
For that to happen, Celtic will need to go out and make signings. There is some significant news in this aspect as it looks like the Hoops' transfer budget is set to be boosted very soon.
After weeks of speculation, a move is close to completion, although not for Celtic. As reported by Sky Sports News, Jeremie Frimpong has arrived in the United Kingdom to finalise his transfer to Liverpool.
Sky Sports confirm brilliant transfer news for Celtic
With Trent Alexander-Arnold leaving Liverpool as a free agent this summer, the club needed to bring in a replacement. They have done well for that man to be Frimpong, one of the most in-demand full-backs in world football.
Things were made easier by the fact that he had a release clause in his Bayer Leverkusen contract, which Liverpool have activated. Where do Celtic come into all of this?
Well, Celtic have a sell-on clause for Frimpong, which was negotiated when he left Parkhead to move to Bayer Leverkusen in early 2021. While the exact figure is not certain, the Hoops are expected to land a windfall north of £5.5 million from this move. Not a bad figure for having to do pretty much nothing and one that could help them bring in an additional player in this window.
