Australian international Mathew Ryan, 33, who has been linked with Celtic and Rangers in the past, is being considered as a potential long-term replacement for Kasper Schmeichel. Reports of a potential move to Celtic increased following Ange Postecoglou's appointment in 2021, but a move did not materialize, and his name has continued to be associated with the club. The goalkeeper, who also holds Scottish nationality, has 100 caps for the Socceroos and has played for numerous clubs across Europe. His contract with Levante is due to expire in the summer, although it includes an option for a one-year extension. Ryan joined the club in August 2025 and has made 26 appearances in LaLiga this season. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €2.00m.
