Celtic are looking to sign a few players this month and adding a new defender is a priority for them.
The Bhoys are expecting to receive more offers for midfielder Mat O’Riley, with Chelsea showing keen interest in him.
If the Denmark midfielder leaves Parkhead, Celtic will be expected to delve into the market and make a flurry of signings to bolster the squad.
Portuguese midfielder Paulo Bernardo has moved to Celtic permanently after impressing last season on loan.
Now the focus is on signing a new left-back, and Celtic have been keen on signing Hugo Bueno for a while now.
Last month, Sky Sports journalist Anthony Joseph claimed that the Bhoys have made an approach to sign the 21-year-old left-back.
The Hoops have been monitoring the defender for some time now as they look to provide competition for Greg Taylor.
Now, journalist James Marshment claims that he has been told that Leeds United are also interested in signing Bueno, but he prefers a move to Celtic instead.
The reason being the Wolves defender is attracted by the prospect of playing in the Champions League next season, but the situation could change as there are other clubs who might also get involved.
He wrote on X: “Told Hugo Bueno is a player that Leeds like but Wolves player currently prefers move to Celtic, with the offer of UCL football a big attraction.
“Situation may change but there are currently other sides in the hunt.”
Bueno would be an interesting signing for the Bhoys. He has got Premier League experience, and his best years are ahead of him.
He has broken through the Wolves academy and is a highly talented player. Last season, he made seven Premier League starts and would be looking for regular game time elsewhere.
At Leeds, he is likely to get regular games, but Celtic would be ideal for his growth and development.
