Celtic had an interest in Yaser Asprilla, having made contact and assessed the feasibility of a move. Because Girona was willing to consider a temporary exit for Asprilla, Celtic explored a loan solution. A move for the player depended on speed and financial flexibility. The structure of a deal involving Galatasaray, an initial loan with an obligation to buy for a potential final fee of €23m, created difficulty for Celtic to compete. Celtic’s interest has now ended because Galatasaray reached an agreement with Girona.

Celtic had made contact while monitoring Yaser Asprilla’s situation. Interest existed, but it did not progress to a formal agreement and from Celtic’s perspective, this effectively concludes the matter.

Celtic approached Girona to inquire about their position on Yaser Asprilla and were informed that a loan move would likely be sanctioned. It is believed that more than 10 other clubs have also made the same approach to Girona. It is reported that clubs in La Liga, the EFL Championship, and other parts of Europe are interested in signing Yaser Asprilla. At this time, neither Girona nor Yaser Asprilla have made a decision on his loan destination. Girona do not feel they need to make a hasty decision, as there are nine days remaining in the window.

Spanish journalist Pipe Sierra claims that Yaser Asprilla's departure from Girona is expected to happen soon. Sierra wrote on X that West Ham, Ajax, Celtic, and Marseille are interested, along with teams from Portugal and Germany. It is reported that the attacker will only be permitted to leave on loan this month, and a fee of £1.75m has been mentioned as part of any potential deal.
