Celtic Pursues Lazio Right‑Back Matteo Cancellieri

Scottish club Celtic are monitoring Lazio's right‑back Matteo Cancellieri, whose contract runs until 2027 and is valued at about €15 million. The club also keeps an eye on teammate Gustav Isaksen, though the Danish winger is currently injured and expected back in September.

Cancellieri made 35 appearances for Lazio across all competitions last season, scoring four goals and providing two assists. With Lazio facing financial pressure and needing to raise funds for defensive and attacking reinforcements under new manager Gennaro Gattuso, a sale could be attractive if a suitable offer matches his market value. Celtic, whose transfer window has been slow after the departure of Daizen Maeda and the rejection of Kelechi Iheanacho’s contract, are seeking a right‑side attacker to bolster their frontline.

Both clubs are weighing the sporting and economic implications as the summer transfer window approaches.
