Michael Noonan Transfer from Shamrock Rovers to Celtic
According to Fabrizio Romano, Celtic Glasgow has also submitted a bid for Michael Noonen. The player has made 46 professional appearances for Shamrock Rovers and his contract in Ireland expires in November this year.
Fabrizio Romano on X states that Celtic are rivalling Bundesliga club TSG Hoffenheim for the signing of Michael Noonan, and that Celtic presented their bid for the striker over the last 24 hours.
Celtic have pursued Michael Noonan for a significant period and presented a bid in the last 24 hours. This follows reports from weeks earlier that Celtic were optimistic about signing Noonan, despite interest from down south. 67 Hail Hail reported in November that Celtic were watching Noonan at the U-17 World Cup.
Shamrock Rovers striker Michael Noonan is reportedly the subject of escalating interest. The Irish Sun reports that Noonan considers Celtic an attractive option.
Celtic are reportedly interested in signing Michael Noonan, a 17-year-old Irish striker who plays for Shamrock Rovers. He has been playing first-team football since leaving St Pat's. According to The Irish Sun, Celtic is ahead of Man Utd in the effort to sign him, despite reports from 2024 that Noonan was near a pre-contract agreement with Manchester City. While a transfer fee has not been specified, Celtic are said to be optimistic about securing the striker. Noonan has scored nine goals for Rovers and became the youngest scorer in Conference League history. Because Noonan cannot be registered until he turns 18 on July 31, one option is for Celtic to sign him in January and then loan him back to Shamrock Rovers. This type of agreement is seen as a possibility because Dermot Desmond, Celtic's largest shareholder, also has a 25% stake in the Irish club. The potential transfer is seen as a long-term project and would likely be separate from other squad reinforcements in January. Noonan, who has 3 caps and one goal for the Republic of Ireland U21s, is contracted to Shamrock Rovers until November 30, 2026. Transfermarkt states his current market value is €250k.
