£25million Top Star To Land Brighton In Few Days, Stunning Move

Matt O’Riley Celtic transfer exit timeline ‘revealed’ as £25million Brighton debut beckons

O’Riley may have played his last game for Celtic as Brighton line up their £25million plus agreement for the player.

The Hoops star man has been on the radar of many clubs this summer with Atalanta having the most drawn out efforts to bring the Dane to Serie A. All FIVE of their bids were batted away by the Scottish champions who were holding out for a record-breaking fee.

Premier League club Brighton moved to take the 23-year-old to the American Express Stadium and had no issues forking over the cash. And reports now claim O’Riley could even sensationally make his Seagulls debut this weekend when they face Manchester United.

Celts are believed to have inserted a significant sell-on clause in the deal which would land them a windfall down the line should the playmaker hit the heights expected of him

The midfielder cost the Glasgow giants just £1.5million back when they signed him under Ange Postecoglou which is yet another in a long line of successful deals done by the hierarchy.

Fabian Hurzeler’s club now hope to thrash out personal terms with the player before Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off against the Red Devils.
