Celtic looks to offload £5m player before transfer deadline
Summary

Celtic aims to move on winger Michel-Ange Balikwisha, who has struggled to make an impact at the club. Despite being signed for £5 million a year ago, Balikwisha has not seen much first-team action and is reportedly not part of Celtic's plans. The summer transfer window is nearing its close, adding urgency to the situation. Celtic's recent elimination from Champions League qualifying has heightened the need for squad changes as they prepare for an upcoming league match against Falkirk.
