Celtic’s interest in Crystal Palace’s Jeffrey Schlupp appears to be more than just a passing fancy, with Brendan Rodgers reportedly keen on adding the versatile 31-year-old to his squad. Schlupp, who has shown his capabilities both as a left-back and a midfielder, would provide the kind of tactical flexibility that Rodgers values—especially in roles that demand an ability to invert and adapt, similar to Greg Taylor’s regular duties.

While Celtic fans have grown accustomed to the club targeting younger players with higher resale potential, Schlupp’s experience and versatility could be just what the squad needs as they look to challenge on multiple fronts this season. His Premier League experience, combined with his adaptability, makes him a compelling prospect for the Bhoys.

Crystal Palace Open to Celtic Talks

What makes this potential move even more interesting is the latest update from Sky Sports, which suggests that Crystal Palace are open to selling Schlupp this summer. This openness from Palace could be the catalyst that propels Celtic’s interest into serious negotiations. For Rodgers, bringing in a player of Schlupp’s calibre could provide the experience and depth needed to navigate the season’s rigours.

As Celtic fans know, transfer links come and go and it’s very difficult to see when there’s substance to a rumour or report. We know right now that two separate reports say Celtic are interested in Jeffrey. Whether Celtic can put together a financial package that can win over the player and the Palace is a different thing altogether. As always, we’ll keep you up to date as we get information.
