The rumour mill never fails to disappoint us. Get your seatbelts on because this could be the biggest piece of shocker provided by the transfer window in recent years. Celtic have been linked with a move for former Germany international Bastian Schweinsteiger. Yes, you heard it right, Celtic have been linked with a switch for the iconic German midfield maestro, Bastian Schweinsteiger. Even though it sounds ridiculous but you can’t really put anything off the table in a year Donald Trump is a heartbeat away from the U.S. presidency.
The kind of treatment Schweinsteiger is getting at Manchester United right now is a shame considering how much the German superstar offered to the game of football during his illustrious career. The World Cup winner has been frozen out by United boss Jose Mourinho and made to train with the reserves. Schweinsteiger is one of those rare footballers whom no one can hate and you have to feel sorry for the 32-year-old.
The Scotsman claims that the German hero could be on his way to Parkhead if the Hoops can beat Hapoel Be’er Sheva and advance to the Champions League group stages. If this really happens, it will easily become the biggest ever transfer made by Celtic. Getting a legend of the game like Schweinsteiger will be a strong statement of intent from Celtic.
While Celtic are a big club and could feature in the group stage of the Champions League this season, it is still hard to see Brendan Rodgers’s side make a move for the 32-year-old this summer. We are struggling to understand how the Bhoys can meet the German’s wage demands. However, you never know what surprise awaits us and we can feel why the Celtic fans are going over the moon after the link started surfacing.
Celtic fans have taken to Twitter to react to the speculation linking the club with a move for United midfielder Schweinsteiger. Here are some of the best tweets-
