Celtic Targets Alvyn Sanches as O'Riley Replacement

Celtic FC is exploring potential replacements for midfielder Matt O'Riley, who is attracting interest from several top European clubs, notably Atalanta, which has made multiple bids. As the club holds out for a Scottish-record fee for O’Riley, valued at around £25 million, they have identified 21-year-old Alvyn Sanches of FC Lausanne-Sport as a candidate to fill the void. Sanches, who has impressed in the Swiss Super League, is also on the radar of clubs such as Burnley, Nice, Club Brugge, and Anderlecht, with a price tag of approximately £4.3 million. While O'Riley remains a key player for Celtic, the possibility of his departure could prompt a move for Sanches or other midfield targets like Arne Engels from Augsburg. The situation is fluid as the transfer window approaches its deadline, highlighting Celtic's proactive approach in bolstering their squad.
