Matt O'Riley to Brighton

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers confirmed that midfielder Matt O’Riley's transfer to Brighton & Hove Albion is imminent, with the 23-year-old currently completing a medical ahead of a move expected to be finalized soon. This transfer could break the Scottish record, surpassing the £25 million fees for Jota and Kieran Tierney, with reports indicating a total package of around £30 million. O’Riley has had a significant impact at Celtic, scoring 27 goals in 125 appearances and helping secure multiple trophies, making his departure a considerable loss for the team. Despite this, Rodgers expressed happiness for O’Riley's opportunity in the Premier League and mentioned the club's focus on future strengthening, including potential signings like Arne Engels. The move to Brighton comes amidst interest from various clubs, but it appears that Brighton has successfully secured the signing. Celtic is now tasked with finding a replacement to fill the void left by O’Riley's exit.
