Luis Palma Eyes Loan Move to Rayo Vallecano

Luis Palma's future at Celtic is uncertain as Rayo Vallecano is reportedly negotiating a loan deal with an option to purchase the Honduran winger for £2.1 million. Having struggled for game time this season, with only nine appearances and no goals or assists, Palma is eager for a fresh start after falling down the pecking order under Brendan Rodgers. Celtic has set a €4 million valuation on him and has turned down previous offers from clubs in Germany and France, indicating they are looking to recoup their initial investment. Despite interest from several clubs, including MLS teams, Celtic may delay any departures until after crucial Champions League matches. The upcoming transfer window closing on February 3 adds urgency to the situation, as Palma's contract extends until 2028, but his lack of integration into the squad may prompt a move. Fans are closely monitoring developments as Palma's potential exit could mark a swift end to his brief Celtic tenure.
