Celtic's failure to reach the Champions League league phase has significantly altered their financial position, raising questions about their ability to afford Nick Pope's wages. Pope had been considered a potential transfer target, with Newcastle looking to restructure their goalkeeping department. While Newcastle United remain willing to approve Pope's departure, his current salary may now be too high for Celtic following their failure in European competition. The goalkeeper's contract at Newcastle reportedly included annual wage increases, meaning his current earnings are likely above Celtic's typical wage structure. According to an estimate from FourFourTwo, the revenue difference between the Champions League and Europa League could cost Celtic over £20m, which might lead them to reconsider the financial viability of signing Pope on Premier League wages.

Nick Pope continues to be a target for Celtic. According to former Aberdeen chief executive Keith Wyness, speaking to Football Insider, Celtic may have difficulty signing Nick Pope because of the wages he currently earns at St James' Park. Pope has been left out of Newcastle's last three pre-season friendlies. Wyness believes that Celtic could only persuade the goalkeeper to move if they can provide the security of a long-term contract. Wyness stated that wages will be an issue and estimated Pope's weekly earnings to be between £60,000 and £80,000, which he noted is significantly outside Celtic's wage structure. He suggested that to exchange long-term security for a lower wage, Celtic would likely need to offer a four-year contract, which he feels is very possible for a goalkeeper. Football Insider recently revealed that Nick Pope will not try to force a departure from Newcastle this summer, despite his recent absence from their matchday squads. However, it is understood that he would be very open to a move if an opportunity for him to get regular first-team football elsewhere became available.
