Celtic’s pursuit of left-back Hugo Bueno has hit a significant roadblock, with the player making the bench for Wolverhampton Wanderers in their match against Manchester United.
This development comes after Celtic’s approach for Bueno was reportedly rejected on Wednesday night.
Bueno’s inclusion in Wolves’ matchday squad effectively rules out any possibility of a transfer to Celtic in the closing hours of the January window. With the deadline rapidly approaching, Celtic finds itself in a challenging position regarding the left-back role.
As things stand, with Greg Taylor injured, Celtic may have to rely on Alexandro Bernabei to fill the position. Bernabei, however, has not yet convinced the Celtic fans of his capabilities, leading to concerns about the team’s defensive strength on the left side.
The lack of solid, concrete links to any other left-back targets, especially with less than three hours left in the window, indicates that Celtic’s search for a suitable player in this position has not borne fruit in this transfer period.
Celtic fans, hopeful for a last-minute signing to strengthen the squad, might need to adjust their expectations and support Bernabei as he potentially steps into a more prominent role.
