Celtic have decided against pursuing a deal for Mateusz Bogusz. The Scottish Champions had tabled a formal offer earlier this week for the Polish midfielder but talks have not progressed as they would have hoped, resulting in Brendan Rodgers’ side pursuing other targets.
According to Tomasz Włodarczyk, who broke the news of Celtic’s interest last week, talks have been postponed and the player is unlikely to switch California for Scotland.
Celtic will look to sign Arne Engels from Augsburg, having tabled an improved £10m bid on Wednesday. Celtic have also upped their bid to £5.5m for Auston Trusty, the left sided central defender. Notwithstanding the fact that Engels would be a good signing, Brendan said he wanted two if Matt O’Riley were to leave.
Celtic have actively been trying to strengthen their squad for the forthcoming UEFA Champions League campaign as well as looking to continue our domestic dominance. Bogusz was one of the names heavily linked but it appears that LAFC are digging their heels in and Celtic have made the decision to walk away.
Hopefully, there are other targets identified that the club can swiftly move onto. The worry is that the lateness of Celtic’s activity will cost them in the window.
