# Celtic: Hoops keen on Danny Mandroiu

**Celtic are interested in bringing Shamrock Rovers star Danny Mandroiu to Parkhead, [The Scottish Sun](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/8006753/celtic-shamrock-rovers-danny-mandroiu-transfer/) reported late on Monday night.**

### The Lowdown: Mandroiu profiled

Mandroiu is 23 years of age and is [primarily](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/daniel-mandroiu/profil/spieler/293783) an attacking midfielder but he’s extremely versatile. The Irishman has also played as a central and defensive midfielder, on both wings and even as a centre-forward during his career. \[[Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/daniel-mandroiu/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/293783)\]

He’s netted [15](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/daniel-mandroiu/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/293783) goals and provided [six](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/daniel-mandroiu/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/293783) assists in 2021, with the former Brighton and Bohemian man labelled as [‘unbelievable’](https://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/league-of-ireland/hes-a-joy-to-work-with-stephen-bradley-rubbishes-questions-ondanny-mandroius-attitude-after-late-heroics-40404516.html) by Shamrock boss Stephen Bradley.

Bradley also stated earlier this year that Mandroiu is [‘the fittest’](https://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/league-of-ireland/hes-a-joy-to-work-with-stephen-bradley-rubbishes-questions-ondanny-mandroius-attitude-after-late-heroics-40404516.html) he’s ever been, and it seems as if Celtic will be making their move very soon.

### The Latest: January move?

[The Scottish Sun](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/8006753/celtic-shamrock-rovers-danny-mandroiu-transfer/) shared a story late on Monday evening, suggesting the Hoops are confident a deal can be struck.

Celtic have been keeping tabs on Mandroiu since the summer and it appears as if they will firm up their interest over the coming months.

### The Verdict: Desmond or Nicholson’s decision?

Celtic brought in defender Liam Scales from Shamrock Rovers over the summer, however, Scales is [yet](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/liam-scales/leistungsdaten/spieler/439497) to start a game under Ange Postecoglou.

[Rumours](https://theathletic.co.uk/2913909/2021/10/26/celtic-hibernian-score-4/?article_source=search&search_query=celtic) have since emerged that Desmond may have brought Scales to Glasgow to balance the books at Shamrock, a club he has a [25%](https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/soccer-news/celtic-talks-shamrock-rovers-over-24670152) stake in, so hopefully, this isn’t the same.

Mandroiu appears to be making a real impact in Ireland and could bolster Postecoglou’s midfield options, so hopefully, he’s a target Michael Nicholson and Postecoglou want, and not a signing purely for Desmond’s benefit, as Scales’ was alleged.
