Celtic could be in for a busy end to the summer transfer window as Brendan Rodgers looks to bolster his squad at Parkhead.
The Bhoys won the Scottish Premiership title once again last summer but may lose a key player or two.
Star playmaker Matt O’Riley is wanted by Brighton and Hove Albion after superb season last term.
The Athletic claim that goalscorer Kyogo Furuhashi is now wanted by Manchester City too, so Celtic may be busy before next week’s transfer deadline.
Fans will hope to see some arrivals too with the likes of Crystal Palace ace Jeffrey Schlupp and Salernitana’s Flavius Daniliuc wanted.
Celtic want Auston Trusty
Celtic have tied up permanent deals for loanees Paulo Bernardo and Adam Idah alongside goalkeepers Kasper Schmeichel and Viljami Sinisalo.
The Bhoys are now looking to add another centre back and could launch a raid on Sheffield United.
Sky Sports report that Celtic are interested in signing Blades defender Auston Trusty.
This could end up being something of a swap deal though as Sheffield United are in talks to sign Bhoys winger Mikey Johnston.
The deals may be treated separately but would ultimately pave the way for an exchange between the two clubs.
Celtic are open to offers for Johnston after seeing him dazzle on loan at Championship side West Bromwich Albion in the second half of last season.
Trusty joined Sheffield United for around £5million last summer as Arsenal cashed in on the American defender.
The Gunners signed Trusty in January 2022 before loaning him to Birmingham City, where he was hailed as ‘incredible’ by teammate George Friend whilst speaking to the Birmingham Mail.
Trusty featured 32 times in the Premier League last season but could not prevent Sheffield United from suffering relegation.
Trusty could join another American at Celtic
The 26-year-old hasn’t played a single minute in Sheffield United’s first two league games of the season and may be tempted to move.
Trusty has only earned two caps for the United States and needs first-team action to improve on that number.
Celtic do already have one American centre back but are fighting to keep hold of him.
The Express claim that Galatasaray, Besiktas and Atalanta want Carter-Vickers but Celtic are standing firm.
Celtic may want to partner Trusty and Carter-Vickers together in an all-American centre back pairing but the Bhoys have some work to do in order to not only sign Trusty, but also keep Carter-Vickers.
