Celtic target Columbus Crew forward Diego Rossi

Columbus Crew's forward Diego Rossi is a potential transfer target for Celtic.


Columbus Crew's forward Diego Rossi is a potential transfer target for Celtic. This potential move is linked to his current manager, Wilfried Nancy, being in talks to become the manager at the Scottish club. According to The Guardian, Celtic believe Nancy can accept their transfer policies. Nancy could arrive with his own targets. Rossi previously had a two-year spell with Fenerbahce. His performance has improved under Nancy, and he has become the team's top scorer with 16 goals.

The 27-year-old stated in a conversation with RG last summer that he would like to return to Europe and that while he was enjoying his football, his future would be decided later. The forward has previously expressed his belief in Nancy's philosophy, and the manager has praised Rossi's work ethic. Although Rossi's contract runs until 2027 and Columbus may resist selling him, Celtic need attacking options. The Uruguayan international has 7 caps and 1 goal for his country. According to Transfermarkt, he has a current market value of €8.50m. He has also been linked with a move to Club América.
