Squad number, unveiling, 'rejected' offers: Inside Luis Palma's Celtic exit

Further details of Luis Palma's proposed Celtic exit have emerged. 

Polish outfit Sportowy Poznan reported on Thursday that the winger was 'on the verge' of joining Lech Poznan on loan with an option to buy. 

Central American outlet futbolcentroamerica.com now claims that Palma will travel to join his new club this Saturday, before being officially unveiled this coming Monday, July 21. 

He will reportedly wear the number 77 shirt, and could be in the squad for the second leg of Poznan's second-round Champions League qualifying tie against Icelandic outfit Breidablik.

Palma is said to have rejected offers from England's second division, Turkey, and the MLS to join the Polish champions. 

Brendan Rodgers addressed the winger's future after Celtic's 2-0 friendly win over Sporting CP on Tuesday. 

He said: "Luis [Palma] will probably go out on loan."

Palma joined Celtic from Aris Thessaloniki in 2023 for £3.5 million, as a replacement for Jota.

In his first season with the club, he scored 10 goals, as well as assisting a further 10 in all competitions, making 36 appearances in the process.

His second campaign with Celtic was far less fruitful, as he only made 12 appearances, contributing no goals or assists in the first half of the campaign, before joining Olympiacos on loan in January.
