Celtic could be an option for Mahamadou Diawara this summer as Brendan Rodgers’ side are keen on signing the Lyon player.

That’s according to journalist Nabil Djellit, who took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to claim the midfielder ‘has an offer’ from Celtic.

There’s no mention of the fee offered by Celtic or whether the Ligue1 side have accepted their bid.

As well as the Scottish champions, Djellit adds RC Lens and FC Nantes are interested in the 19-year-old. Brendan Rodgers’s side currently seem to be ahead of the Ligue 1 sides considering they have tabled a bid.

On Thursday, Foot Mercato reported a foreign club, who are qualified for the Champions League, are keen on signing the youngster. They weren’t aware of the details of this team.

The Bhoys have qualified for the Champions League group stage. So it’s likely to be Celtic, if Djellit’s latest report is to be believed.

Diawara graduated from Paris Saint-Germain’s academy before he left them for Lyon last summer.

The Frenchman clocked in 1,000 minutes from 19 games last season. Diawara may enjoy more game time if he decides to join Celtic in this window.
