CSL's Dembele Leaving Rumors

Updated:2025-09-24 08:30    Views:144

Cristian Semedo has been linked with a move away from Celtic Park in recent weeks, and there have been reports that the Portuguese defender could be on his way to Manchester United.

However, according to Sky Sports, Celtic are set to hold talks with Dejan Lovren over a potential transfer to the Scottish side. The Croatian centre-back has struggled for game time at Liverpool this season, and is expected to leave Anfield in January.

Lovren has made just six appearances for Liverpool this term, and has fallen out of favour under Jurgen Klopp. He was heavily linked with a move to Manchester City earlier in the year, but ended up signing a new contract at Anfield instead.

The 29-year-old has been a key player for Celtic in the past, helping them win the Scottish Premier League title last season. However, he may not be able to replicate his form at Celtic in England, where he will face competition from other top defenders such as Virgil van Dijk and Harry Maguire.

In contrast, Dejan Lovren is one of the most experienced centre-backs in Europe, having played for several top clubs including Inter Milan, Sevilla and Napoli. His experience and leadership qualities would be valuable assets for any team, and he could provide a strong defensive presence at Celtic Park.

Despite the rumors linking Cristian Semedo with a move away from Celtic, it seems that a deal for Dejan Lovren is more likely. Both players have different strengths and weaknesses, and both could play a crucial role in any team looking to strengthen their defence. Ultimately, the decision will depend on Celtic's priorities and what they believe is best for the club moving forward.
