Celtic have their next Matt O’Riley in the making & he’s rarely playing

Another star Celtic lost during the summer transfer window when they sold an electric striker Nicholas Kon in favor of the first -class CEO for a fee of 16.5 million pounds.

The German striker ended the 2024/25 campaign with the return of 21 goals and 15 passes in 51 games in all competitions for the Scottish League Champions, for each Trisk.

KUHN presented a major threat at the upper end of the field below the right side because he had quality to cause opposition problems as a scorer and creator of goals, locally and in Europe.

The hoops did not sign the natural right wing to replace the German, and it has gathered Hyun-Jun Yang and James Forrest without any goals or passes in nine joint matches in the Premier League this season, for all Whoxeser.

This indicates that Celtic is struggling with the right wing because they did not go out to the market to sign an alternative similar to the left striker.

Another player was not completely replaced by the collars because they sold him for the big money.

Why Matt Orili was of great value to your tongue

The Scottish Giants submitted record fees of 25 million pounds from the Premier League team when they decided to spend in Denmark International. This was because of the value he made on the field of Bayuiz in the 2023/24 campaign.

Brendan Rodgers arrived in Parkhid in the summer of 2023 to replace Ange Postecoglou in the captain in Glasgow, and the Orelli switch was impressive on the field.

The left midfielder scored three goals and presented 12 assists in the prime minister in the 2022/23 campaign under the leadership of the Australian lead coach, which was impressive due to his creative production.

Rodgers, though, raised Orili to the next level in Parkhid by editing him to bear more responsibility as a hide, which puts him on the field to storm the box by joining the attacks.

As you can see in the table above, the English -born playmaker scored 15 other goals under Rodgers more than in the postcoglou era in the previous league season.

For all Whiscore, O’Riey led the team in both goals (18) and helps (13) in the Premier League in that season under the North Irish lead coach, and for this reason it was very valuable for the team, as the most important scorer and creator of goals.

These statistics and its importance were persuaded by Celtic Brighton to spray a fee of more than 25 million pounds in the summer of 2024, and the Scottish giants are still searching for its next version of Dance.

Benjamin Nigrin showed flashes of the promise in the central midfield, with three goals and one help this season, Arney Engels handed the nine decisive passes in the Premier League and the Champions League last season, to all Sofascore.

However, the next Celtic Celtic Aurelli may have a player rarely used by Rodgers, to the point that he played less minutes than Nigrin and Engels.

Portugal U21 International Paulo Bernardo did not have much opportunities to persuade her in the middle of the park, but it showed the possibility of development into an impressive player in the future.

Why can Paulo Bernardo be the next Matt Orili for your Celtic

A permanent deal from Benfica was signed in the summer of 2024 after the loan talisman in the 2023/24 campaign, the central midfielder fell into the attackers at the beginning of this season.

Luke McCan, Calum McGregor, Benjamin Nigrin, Arny Engels, and Rio Hatat played all more minutes than Bernardo in the Premier League, everywhere, indicating that the manager evaluates other players in front of him in his position at this moment at the time.

The Portuguese star played only 74 minutes in the league. This comes after 13 out of 28 pursues in the department in the 2024/25 campaign, and showed many real quality signs on the upper end of the field.

As you can see in the table above, Bernardo was distinguished against his local peers every 90 in a set of main offensive standards, in both scoring and creating goals.

These statistics indicate that the former Benfica star, which was described as “stubborn” by U23 Scout Antonio Mango, can provide a major threat at the upper side of the midfield as a top scorer and goal of goals if you give the opportunity to start a week per week and play more minutes.

In fact, he explains his assistance to Urieli, in the clip above the type of quality that Bernardo can offer in the opposition box when he is free to move forward and join the attacks to make things happen in the last third.

The Portuguese strengthening is a creative and silk midfielder who has the ability to score and create goals at an impressive rate when he is allowed to express himself on the field, but Rodgers rarely gave him an opportunity to do so.

The Celtic manager raised the next level by playing a week per week and pushing him up on the field to score goals, and Bernardo has the ability to follow the footsteps of Dan.

But the matter is now to Rodgers to provide the 23 -year -old star with more opportunities from the beginning to allow him to find some consistency in his offers and final product on his way until the next Orili club is.
