Marco Tilio returned to Celtic after spending last season on loan at Melbourne City and will leave Brendan Rodgers’ side again this summer.
That’s according to Sky Sport Austria, and they report the 23-year-old is on his way to SK Rapid Wien.
It’s claimed the Austrian club initially wanted to sign the Celtic player on a loan deal with an obligation to buy. They had an agreement in place with the Scottish Premiership champions for a loan costing £350,000.
The terms of the agreement have now been changed, and the winger will join Rapid Wein on a permanent transfer for £1.3m. That’s because Celtic are allowed to send only six players out on loan to foreign clubs and want to utilise that slot for another player.
Brendan Rodgers would have left the Australia international out of his plans and his side have agreed to part ways with him permanently.
According to Sky Sport Austria, the attacker is expected to arrive today to carry out medical tests with Rapid Wein. Tilio will then sign a contract until 2029 with his new club.
Tilio arrived in Glasgow from Melbourne City in 2023 and has played two games for Celtic.
