CELTIC outcast Luis Palma has emerged as a target for Sevilla.
The Honduran international winger joined Lech Poznan in the summer and his impressive form in Poland has attracted attention from the Spanish club.
However, any potential move for Palma, who cost £3.5million when he joined the Hoops from Greek side Aris Thessaloniki in August 2023, will be dependent on Sevilla remaining in La Liga.
The Polish club are also mulling over making Palma’s move permanent with it almost certain he has no future at Parkhead, despite having two years on his deal to run.
The one-time Spanish giants, seven-times winners of the Europa League, have been alerted to his availability and they are interested in either a loan or buying him outright, according to a report in the Scottish Sun.
UP, UP AND AWAY…Luis Palma skips past a challenge from Ryan Astley in the 3-3 draw at Dens Park on January 14 2025 – one of the Honduran’s last appearances for Celtic.
Sevilla are currently just two places and two points clear of the relegation zone in a testing campaign.
Palma spent the second half of last season in Greece with Olympiacos, but they didn’t take up the option to make the switch permanent.
The 26-year-old maverick flanker has scored eight goals and provided nine assists in 41 games for Lech this season.
Palma stated recently he would like another crack at becoming a success at Parkhead, as CQN reported.
He admitted: “I want to have a second chance, I have a contract with them, I’m still part of the club and if they say I have to return, I’ll do it in the best way possible.
“My dream is to return to a high-performance league; for me, the Scottish league was a high-performance one.”
If Sevilla dodge relegation, it could be that Palma will be performing in La Liga next season.
