Martin Dubravka addresses Celtic transfer link as Newcastle star reveals previous interest

Martin Dubravka has directly addressed Celtic's reported interest in his services this summer.

The Newcastle goalkeeper, 35, is claimed to be on the club's shortlist for a stopper alongside their number one priority Peter Vindahl Jensen, as Football Scotland exclusively told you. The Hoops are on the lookout for two new goalies to replace Joe Hart who retired as well as Ben Siegrist who is expected to leave Glasgow before the start of next term.

Dubravka revealed in an interview during his Euro 2024 preparation with Czechia that Celts had been interested in him last year as well as this summer but that he'd only consider talking further with a "concrete" offer on the table.

"I am aware that there are rumours, teammates ask me about it, agents and people call me, if there is any truth to it," he said. "There was some truth in that a year ago and you see, I stayed at Newcastle, so I still take it as if there is no official offer on the table, then I absolutely do not deal.

"I told my agents that if it was concrete and there was an offer, then only then would I consider it. At the moment, it is only in the stage of some noises."
