A potential January transfer for Michel Ange Balikwisha is complicated by his current situation at Celtic and his European registration status. Balikwisha is a 24-year-old DR Congo international winger who joined Celtic from Royal Antwerp six months ago for a fee reported to be £5 million. The player has not played for the team since early December and has removed most posts related to Celtic from his Instagram account.
Rules prevent him from playing for a third European club this season because he has already played for both Antwerp and Celtic in continental competitions, which limits his options. As a result, a return to Antwerp is one possibility for him to continue playing in Europe this season. It is not certain if Celtic would agree to such a transfer. The player has five caps for his country. For Celtic in the Scottish Premiership this season, he has made seven appearances and provided one assist. He also scored one goal in four appearances for Antwerp. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €5.00m.
