Leicester City and Leeds United face competition in Celtic transfer battle

According to Sky Sports, the Catalan side have set their sights on the 23-year-old this January as they look to push for the league title.

O’Riley has been a standout figure for Celtic, impressing this season as part of Brendan Rodgers’ side.

The midfielder has contributed 10 goals and seven assists from 21 league games, as well as three assists in six Champions League appearances.

The Denmark international could be on the move this winter, with several clubs showing an interest in the player.

It was initially reported that Leicester City and Leeds United were interested in signing the Celtic star, but a deal has yet to materialise.

Italian giants Inter Milan have also been linked with a move for O’Riley, but their financial position means they may have to wait until the summer to make

a concrete offer.

s understood Inter need to sell before they can buy this month, even with Stefano Sensi close to agreeing a move to the Foxes.

It was claimed in December that Celtic have put an asking price on O’Riley worth up to £25 million.

This could prove a stumbling block for Leeds and Leicester, with the pair potentially willing to wait until they know if Premier League status has been

secured before spending that kind of money.

However, it remains to be seen whether Girona will be willing to pay that kind of figure now, with the club chasing a potential league title triumph this year.

Míchel’s side currently lead the way at the top of the Spanish top flight table, holding a one point lead over Real Madrid, having played a game more.

Another big La Liga side, as well as a Premier League team, are also monitoring O’Riley, and are considering an offer prior to the 1 February deadline.
