Celtic FC is reportedly keeping an eye on Matt Ryan, the 34-year-old Australian goalkeeper, as he approaches free agency after his contract with Levante expires. The Glasgow club faces competition from Club Brugge, which is looking for a successor to Simon Mignolet. Ryan has had a diverse career, playing for clubs in Australia, Belgium, Spain, Denmark, the Netherlands, Italy, and France, and has amassed over 500 senior appearances in club football, alongside more than 100 caps for the Australian national team. His agility, reflexes, and ball-playing abilities make him a suitable fit for Celtic's transfer policy, which favors experienced keepers who can step in as first-choice players immediately. Although Levante has the option to extend Ryan's contract for another year, the prospect of relegation may prompt him to seek a new challenge. With Celtic's history of successfully integrating seasoned goalkeepers, Ryan could be a valuable addition to the squad if the interest from Celtic intensifies.
