Brendan Rodgers has expressed a desire to bring in two new midfielders if Matt O’Riley departs for Brighton & Hove Albion.
Lausanne-Sport’s Alvyn Sanches and Augsburg’s Arne Engels have been linked as potential targets, but the transfer window can accelerate rapidly, especially if exits prompt the need for new signings.
Dundee captain Luke McCowan has also been on Celtic’s radar, with a reported price tag of £1 million. However, the club has yet to secure another midfield addition as the deadline approaches.
Recent developments suggest that Celtic have now made an offer for a new talent who has emerged on their radar.
Celtic make an offer for Mahamadou Diawara – journalist
According to journalist Nabil Djellit on his official X account, Celtic have submitted an offer for Lyon midfielder Mahamadou Diawara.
Djellit stated (translated via DeepL): “Mahamadou Diawara, who is lacking playing time at OL, has received an offer from Glasgow Celtic, who have qualified for the UEFA Champions League. Other clubs, including Ligue 1 sides Nantes and Lens, are also interested in the 19-year-old midfielder.”
Celtic may face competition for Diawara’s signature, with clubs like Nantes, Lens, and others keen to sign him.
The France Under-19 international made 12 appearances for Lyon last season and has featured once this season as a substitute against Stade Rennais.
A former Paris Saint-Germain youth academy player, the 19-year-old fits Celtic’s transfer model. However, with four years left on his current contract, it’s unclear how much he might cost.
Despite limited playing time at Lyon, Celtic could offer him an opportunity for further career development if the transfer progresses.
