Celtic manager Martin O'Neill was interviewed by "Celts Are Here" and other media outlets.

"I think (flag bearer) Reo has made an extremely impressive contribution to the club since he joined. Two or three years ago, some even rated him as the best player in Scottish football. Personally, I feel he might be looking for a new challenge where he can have a second wind."

"Of course, I really hope he stays with the team. He has contributed a lot to the team, and his contract still has a year left. But if he ultimately decides to leave, I will certainly feel regret, and I have also told him that the club has done its best and there is no other way to keep him, truly nothing more we can do."

"We will observe Reo's next decision. If there is no progress on a transfer, I still hope he continues to stay with the team."

"We will continue to monitor Reo's future movements. As in previous years, players' minds are somewhat swayed during the transfer window, which is somewhat similar to Maeda's situation before, and it is hard to say where it will eventually lead."
