Celtic transfer state of play as Matt O'Riley 'targeted' by Juventus and latest on Idah, Schmeichel and Bernardo

Juventus are reportedly keen on Celtic playmaker Matt O'Riley – with Tuttosport running their back page on a potential move.

O'Riley has had plenty of interest from down south and abroad with Atalanta the most recent side to come to the table but fall short of Celtic's demands. It's believed they want a club record fee north of £30m for his services.

Tuttosport though say Juve are gearing up to launch a bid and see O'Riley and Frosinone's Marco Brescianini as midfield transfer targets. As far as Parkhead incomings go, a move back to Celtic is just the ticket to relaunch Adam Idah's career according to Ireland legend Ray Houghton. The Hoops are locked in talks with Norwich over the striker who thoroughly impressed at Parkhead on loan in the second half of last season. He scored nine times and had a knack for turning up on the big occasions - netting the all-important Scottish Cup final winner against Rangers that sealed the double with one of the final kicks of the ball last season.

He's a Celtic cult hero whatever happens but Brendan Rodgers wants him back and we understand the player has told Norwich he wants to leave - despite new manager Johannes Hoff Thorup's insistence on having a look at him in pre-season. Former midfielder Houghton, who racked up 73 appearances for Ireland, believes a return to Celtic, and Champions League football, is just what he needs. He said: “Adam has proved himself to be a direct and physical player with an eye for goal. He has made a good career for himself so far and has always done well for the Republic of Ireland when he has played for them as well.

“Obviously, Ireland are hoping they can get as many of their players playing at as many good clubs in big leagues. That will help them
