Celtic Look to Italy for Attacking Boost

Celtic are reportedly searching for a new winger to replace Daizen Maeda, who might be leaving the club. Their latest target is a young player from Italy’s Serie A — someone who can bring speed and creativity to the attack.

Why Cancellieri Is on Celtic’s Radar

The player in question is Matteo Cancellieri, a 22-year-old winger currently playing for Lazio. He’s known for his pace, dribbling, and ability to play on either flank. Reports suggest Celtic have been watching him closely and could make a move during the next transfer window.

• Cancellieri has experience in Serie A and has also played in the Italian youth national teams.
• He could be a direct replacement for Maeda, who has been linked with a move away from Glasgow.

A Former Rangers Captain Heads Stateside

Meanwhile, a former Rangers captain is in talks with an unnamed MLS club. The veteran defender, who led the Gers to multiple trophies, is rumored to be considering a move to the United States. This would be a big change after spending most of his career in Scotland.

• The player is a free agent after his contract with Rangers ended last season.
• Several MLS teams are interested, but no deal has been finalized yet.

What This Means for the Scottish Sides

If Celtic land Cancellieri, they would add depth and youth to their attack. Losing Maeda could be a blow, but Cancellieri’s style could fit well under the current manager. For Rangers, losing their former captain — even though he left last year — would mark the end of an era. Both clubs are likely to stay busy as the transfer window heats up.
