Carl Starfelt hands Celtic transfer opportunity as 'interest' in Swede opens door to next Ange masterstroke

Carl Starfelt could become the latest player for Celtic to turn a tidy profit on as a report claim there is "interest" in the Swede in the English Premier League and on the Continent.

Ange Postecoglou landed the centre-back as one of his first signings in the summer of 2021 and he has been one of the building-blocks of the side that now stand one game away from a Treble in just the Greek-Aussie’s second season in charge. Starfelt was named as one of seven Parkhead stars the PFA Scotland team of the season and has struck up a formidable partnership with Cameron Carter-Vickers, looking good value for the £4million Celtic paid to sign him from Rubin Kazan two years ago.

Signing players and selling for a profit has been one of the central tenets of Postecoglou's tenure though with Giorgos Giakoumakis and Josip Juranovic both shifted in January for steep inclines on the fees paid to sign him. Sky Sports indicate Starfelt could be the latest Postecoglou signing to be moved on, claiming various clubs down south and in mainland Europe are interested in the 27-year-old, though they fail to name any of them.
