Celtic's Luis Palma Expected to Return from Olympiacos Loan

Luis Palma, who was loaned to Olympiacos from Celtic after limited playing time in Scotland, is expected to return to Celtic this summer following a similarly unremarkable stint in Greece, where he started only two league games and played minimally since mid-April. Olympiacos manager José Luis Mendilibar has publicly indicated he will not exercise the buyout clause for Palma, stating that his decisions regarding which players will remain have already been made. Palma's contract with Celtic still has three years remaining, but with strong competition for places and no clear role in Brendan Rodgers' squad, his future at the club remains uncertain. Reports suggest Celtic may seek to offload him either via a permanent transfer or another loan, as there have been indications of interest from other leagues. Despite Olympiacos winning the Greek championship during Palma's loan, his personal contributions were minimal, mirroring his struggles for regular play at Celtic. The situation now presents a challenge for Celtic to determine the winger's next move.
