Celtic’s Major Player Clear-Out: High-Earning Stars Face Uncertain Future
Celtic has announced plans to release several players with high salaries, making it difficult for them to leave the club this summer. This decision is primarily based on the team’s financial situation, rather than their performance on the pitch.
Key Players Set to Depart
The likes of Bamba, Carles Pérez, and Unai Nunez are among the players who will have to consider their futures at Celtic. Despite having no intention of leaving, they may be forced to depart due to their high salaries. This trio has significant experience and has already shown their abilities on the pitch.
Claudio Giraldez Aims to Get the Best Out of Departing Stars
Giraldez, the current coach of Celtic, will be tasked with improving the performances of these departing players. With the right conditions, he can help them reach their full potential.
Bamba’s Disappointing First Season
Bamba joined Celtic with big expectations, but his first season was largely underwhelming. He struggled due to a long absence from the team during the African Cup and has since been working to improve his game.
First-Season Statistics for Bamba
In his inaugural season, Bamba played 27 league matches, 24 as a starter, and accumulated 1993 minutes on the pitch. He scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists, struggling to make a significant impact.
Carles Pérez’s Career at Celtic
Carles Pérez had a promising first year at Celtic, but his subsequent seasons have been marked by inconsistency and physical discomfort. He played a limited number of games in his second season, scoring only one goal.
Unai Nunez’s Decline in Form
Unai Nunez, once a regular starter for Celtic, lost his place in the team under the guidance of Claudio Giraldez. In the 10 games since the new coach took over, Nunez was a starter in only 4, didn’t play in several, and came off the bench in 2 others.
