Celtic have again rejected Atalanta’s offer for Matt O’Reilly.

“Celtic rejected Atalanta’s new offer. This is the third time,” the U.K.’s Football Insider said on Monday (Korea time).

Born in 2000, Danish national O’Reilly is currently the best midfielder in the Scottish Premier League (SPL). Having grown up in the Premier League (PL) Fulham Youth, he began his professional career by being called up to the first team stage in 2017 and moved to Miltonkins Dunns, a member of the English Football League (EFL) League (third division), to gain more experience in the 2020-21 season.

As soon as he transferred, he gained the main midfielder position, displaying tremendous potential. His final record at Miltonkins Dons was 10 goals and eight assists in 54 matches. After completing a year-long journey, he joined the Celtic team, a prestigious club in Scotland.

O’Reilly continued to play for Celtic. Having consistently guaranteed chances to play, O’Reilly rose to the core of his team by scoring four goals and two assists in 20 matches for six months. Thanks to his performance, he also won the league title.안전놀이터

He is steadily rising to the top throughout the season. O’Reilly, who played in 52 games in the 2022-23 season, continued his career as a league-leading midfielder with four goals and 14 assists, while Celtic also had the best year ever by achieving a “domestic treble.” In the 2023-24 season, he also scored 19 goals and 18 assists in 49 games, making him one of the best midfielders in the league, being named the “Player of the Year” by the club and the “Scottish Team of the Year” by the PFA.

At the same time, O’Reilly is strongly linked to Atalanta, but Celtic’s position is firmly established. The media outlet stated, “Celtic has set O’Reilly’s transfer fee at 25 million pounds (W45 billion). Atalanta is already facing its third rejection, with the latest offer being 15 million pounds (W26.7 billion), including options. If Celtic sell O’Reilly for 25 million pounds, this would be a record amount for the club.”
