Watford have been linked with a move for the Vata this summer, and he has an uncertain future with the Scottish Premiership winners. His contract with Celtic expires at the end of next month, and he is set to leave as things are.
According to the Daily Record, Vata, 18, has spoken with the Hornets about a possible move to the Championship, with Italian clubs including AC Milan, Bologna, Sampdoria, and Como also interested. Citte Celeste has also alleged that Lazio has admirers.
In the most recent update on his condition, the Daily Record reports that the Hoops have made one last attempt to retain his services by negotiating new terms. They recently won the title ahead of their rivals, Rangers.
Watford will have to wait and see if Vatta re-signs with Celtic or goes elsewhere.
He appears to be receiving a lot of interest in Italy right now, and a move to a team in Serie A or Serie B could turn his head.
However, a move to the Hornets would provide him with an opportunity to build a name for himself in England while also working with former Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley.
Vata has spent his whole career with Celtic, rising through the academy divisions.
He has been a vital player for the Glasgow giants at various youth levels and has lately established himself as a regular for their B team in the Lowland League, scoring 23 goals in 34 appearances.
Vata, a Republic of Ireland youth international, has made six appearances for the Hoops’ main squad and scored once.
Watford have a busy few months ahead as they prepare for Cleverley’s first full season at the helm.
Vata would be a wise acquisition to the Hertfordshire club if they could stave off international competition and secure his signing.
He is a very talented talent with a great future in the game. His future is uncertain, although Celtic are hoping to keep him.
