Celtic’s pursuit of Barcelona attacking midfielder Alex Collado is ‘one to keep an eye on’ over the coming weeks, according to journalist Dean Jones. The talented 23-year-old is set to depart his boyhood club in search of regular first-team opportunities, and Parkhead has been sounded out as a potential destination.
Spanish journalist Albert Roge has claimed that Celtic are one of four teams interested in prising Collado away from Camp Nou, with Olympiakos and two unnamed La Liga sides also in the running.
However, the Hoops could hold an advantage over their rivals in the pursuit of the former Spain Under-19 international’s signature as it’s claimed he is keen to play European football.
Olympiakos will also be able to offer Collado that, although they are currently involved in the play-off rounds for the Europa League while Celtic are assured of a place in the Champions League group stages.
