According to La Dernière Heure two days ago, Koen Casteels of VfL Wolfsburg is the top choice for Celtic to succeed Joe Hart, who has already declared his retirement. Additionally, rumors circulated that Brendan Rodgers’ team had reached out to sign him. Het Nieuwsblad said on Wednesday that Celtic and Anderlecht would have to compete for the 31-year-old.
Het Laatste Nieuws reports that Celtic may be a possibility for Casteels, who has made the decision to search for a new challenge when his contract expires in June.
Although his exact position is unknown for the upcoming campaign, he most certainly won’t be in Germany.
“I’m not sure where I’ll be under the bar for next season,” he stated.
The Belgian international, according to HLN, has already had discussions with other teams; however, the teams’ specifics have not been disclosed.
In March, Casteels clarified his preference, saying, “I especially want to continue for years to come, because I still feel very good.” A sports project is what I want. Yes, the sun can shine.
According to the article, if he decides to support Rodgers, he will have to make accommodations for the weather.
Casteels can play in the Champions League if Celtic, who are looking for a goalkeeper to replace Hart, accepts his offer. In an attempt to persuade him to choose the Scottish champions over Anderlecht, HLN claims that “those are assets.”
Before the Euros, the goalie “wants to arrange the move as quickly as possible.” It is unknown if he will end up at Celtic, Anderlecht, or another team.
