Celtic is having a hard time signing new players this summer. The club’s top executive says they just can’t compete with English clubs from the Championship. They also struggle to deal with agents who represent players.

Why English Championship Clubs Are Tough Competitors

Many English second-tier clubs have more money to spend than Celtic. They earn big revenue from TV deals and can offer higher wages. That makes it hard for Celtic to attract top players.

  • Higher TV money
  • Bigger wage budgets
  • Stronger league reputation

The Role of Agents in Transfer Deals

Agents often push for large fees and personal terms for their players. The club’s executive says these demands are hard to meet. The club has to be careful with its budget.

  • High transfer fees
  • Big signing bonuses
  • Long contracts

What This Means for Celtic’s Squad

With fewer new signings, Celtic may rely on their current players. The team still has strong talent, but fans are worried about falling behind rivals.

  • Limited squad depth
  • Pressure on existing players
  • Risk in European competitions

Looking Ahead for Celtic

Celtic will have to find creative ways to strengthen the team. They might look for bargains or develop young players. The transfer window is still open, so there is hope for new arrivals.
