Celtic to miss out on Odegaard loan
REAL Madrid are reportedly happy to send Norwegian starlet Martin Odegaard out on loan next season - but to a Spanish club. Celtic and Ronny Deila have been tentatively linked with a loan move for the 16-year-old playmaker since he joined Real from Stromsgodset.
But while new boss Rafa Benitez is said to be keen on loaning out Odegaard next season, he is likely to remain in Spain with Real Betis, Villarreal and Malaga all linked with the youngster. (AS)
Berisha âflatteredâ by Celtic link
NORWEGIAN striker Veton Berisha has admitted that it is âvery flatteringâ to be linked to the Scottish champions. The 21-year-old Viking hitman, whose contract is up in the summer, has been linked with a move away from Norway, with Celtic among the clubs chasing him.
He said: âI donât know anything about the Celtic interest, but it is of course very flattering.
âIf the right offer comes along from an overseas club then I would consider it, but it all depends on which club is making the offer.â
Berisha has netted seven goals in 11 matches this season, and looks set to be allowed to leave by manager Kjell Jonevret. (Evening Times)
