Celtic have enjoyed the outputs of their relentless toil on the Scottish soil this season and have seemingly appeared to be miles ahead of their fellow domestic rivals. The Bhoys have already clinched the Scottish Premiership title as well as the League Cup and are due to lock horns against Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup final later this month. Brendan Rodgers has constructed a stupendous and productive outfit and has marshalled his troops in a meticulous manner.
The continuation of the same would be needed by the Celts next season and would want to erect a strong footing for themselves in the Champions League as well. However, some of their main men would be targeted by the European heavyweights and no matter how agonising it might sound, Celtic might be tempted to sell them for good amount of money. Thus, they are seemingly likely to bolster their ranks and fill the voids (if such a situation arises) once the curtains of the summer transfer window get lifted. One of the latest reports to have surfaced across the internet has been the one linking Sunderland’s Fabio Borini to Celtic.
Borini was signed by Rodgers when he was the manager of Liverpool and knowing the versatility that he offers, it doesn’t really come as a surprise seeing him getting linked with the former Liverpool manager’s side. With Sunderland getting relegated from the Premier League, the Italian might personally be vouching for new and better endeavours for himself and a move to the Celtic Park would be ideal for him to meet his needs, and also for the Glasgow-based club as Patrick Roberts isn’t sure to be bagged for another loan spell.
Borini has been utilised everywhere in the attacking sector by the Black Cats and his excellent eye to damage his opponents up front, his knack to make the right movements on and off the ball and his sheer hard work and determination make him an appealing commodity. The 26-year-old dictates the tempo of the game in the final third, tracks back time and again to nullify the anticipated offensive movements of the opposition and his attack-minded attitude would be hugely welcomed at Celtic.
At this stage of his career, he needs to play week in and week out and considering his calibre, he can certainly challenge for a spot for himself in the starting line-up. The Hoops need quality and the former Liverpool man is unarguably one of the players who possess the audacity to enable Celtic in pencilling the results in their favour next season. Besides, the reported transfer fee of £6 million shouldn’t bother the club and the move should be beneficial for both Borini and Celtic.
