Will the Euro 2024 snub affect O’Riley valuation? Nope, but will it affect his chances of staying? Yes.

Matt O’Riley will no doubt be still reeling after being snubbed for the Danish squad for the forthcoming Euro 2024 tournament. That’s only natural, but I’m sure he’ll bounce back and it will only make him more determined to show Kasper Hjulmand – or whoever is the Denmark boss next season – that it was a wrong call to overlook him.

Pretty much everyone thinks that’s the case except Kasper Hjulmand and unfortunately for the Celtic Player of the Year, he’s the one making the call.

So yes, Matt will bounce back but whether that’s with Celtic or another club is another matter altogether. There might be a belief that the Danish snub could affect Matt’s market value, but that’s complete nonsense.

Yes a good Euro 2024 might have added a few million on to his price tag, but his current valuation of around £22 – £25 million won’t be affected in the slightest.

There is a downside however, and Matt will most likely feel that he has to move on if he wants to further his international ambitions. That’s only natural, and with his head already turned by the likes of Atletico Madrid chasing him, this recent international snub will have his head mixed up all that bit more now.

There was a slight chance that Matt could have stayed on maybe one more season, but with this international snub and interest in him intensifying, it’s unfortunately only a matter of time before he departs for pastures new.
