Matt O’Riley sale would bring Celtic a very good chunk of money – Johan Mjallby

If Celtic chooses to capitalize on Matt O’Riley, Johan Mjallby anticipates that they will receive “a very good chunk of money.”

The Danish midfielder, 23, has been connected to several European teams, such as Brighton, Inter Milan, and Atletico Madrid.

O’Riley, who signed with the Hoops in January 2022 after leaving MK Dons, is under contract with the team until 2027. The newly crowned champions are unlikely to sell for less than the Scottish transfer record of £25 million they paid Arsenal in 2019 to acquire Kieran Tierney.

As he assisted in promoting this Saturday’s Scottish Gas, former Celtic defender Mjallby remarked, “He’s been immense for the last two seasons; he’s got a great left foot and a lot of energy and he pops up with a lot of goals.” Scottish Cup final between Rangers and his old team. “That there is interest in him from other sources is not surprising.

“As a Celtic fan, I’d prefer to see him stay because he’s been so good, but I believe it’s inevitable that if you perform well for Celtic or Rangers, teams in Europe and the South will always be interested in you.”While it would be better if they stayed at Celtic so they could advance even further, I would anticipate Celtic receiving a large payment if they choose to sell him.

In the final Old Firm Scottish Cup match of 2002, which the Light Blues won 3-2, Mjallby was a player for Celtic. This time around, he anticipates a close match, but he believes his former team has the advantage.

Celtic most likely have greater momentum in the works. toward the end,” he remarked. “They had a little stutter earlier in the season, but in the last two months, they’ve really found their game, playing their best football when it counted to demonstrate that they are the genuine deal.

“There is no doubt that Celtic has the psychological advantage over Rangers, but since this is a one-off game, things will be a little different. They should feel very confident going into the final because they won the league and appeared to be playing at their best.

They seem to have more game-winning players than the Rangers, in my opinion. Rangers, however, cannot be written off because they had a fantastic chance to exert a great deal of pressure earlier in the season. The difference is not great, but Celtic should now have the advantage.

“His return made me very happy, especially considering the style of play he wants his team to play—he shares Ange Postecoglou’s attack-minded mentality.” Yes, you can distinguish minute changes between them. However, Brendan’s return to Celtic was a smooth transition.

As the manager of Celtic, it is his responsibility to win trophies. The league came first, and now they have an opportunity to win an additional trophy. He’ll want to cap off the season in grand fashion.
