Dedryck Boyata has been a significant presence for the Celts this season but the 28-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season.
With the Hoops needing a replacement, the Daily Star has reported that the Belgian has already agreed to terms with Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin. This has given Celtic a few issues.
This gives them time until the end of the season to search for a replacement. Boyata has shown just how important he is to the team, which means that they can’t be penny-pinching and need a genuine replacement.
The player needs to make a statement for the club, while at the same time be affordable. The 28-year-old has shown just how good he can be on his day, and finding a suitable replacment will be a difficult task.
The Hoops have one hand on the league. Despite, having a massive lead in the first phase, the second phase has just started.
A talented 20-year-old, the young defender is out of contract at the end of this season with Atletico Madrid and deserves a move. Talented, athletic and defensively sound; Francisco Montero has shown a lot of promise and ability over the last few years.
Tactically aware, the Spaniard has the attributes and the skill, which should allow him to thrive for Celtic, especially as a potential replacement for Dedryck Boyata. Montero is out of contract, which would mean he’s very much affordable and allow Celtic to improve in other areas.
Linked with a move to Rangers in February (Sun), a move for Tomas Kalas would also help the club move on. Celtic need a new centre-back and Kalas’ performances this season have been admirable for Bristol City.
The 25-year-old has struggled to get a first-team spot at Chelsea. But that hasn’t stopped him from making an impact elsewhere, showing signs of his potential while on loan at Fulham, FC Koln and Middlesbrough.

He has honed his skills over the last eight odd years and has become a reliable defender for Bristol City and the Czech Republic, with 18 appearances for his national team.
Despite Chelsea’s impending transfer ban, a fee of around £5million (Sun) should be more than enough for Kalas’ services.
