​On May 3, 2026, at Easter Road in Edinburgh, Scotland, a Scottish Premiership fixture saw Hibernian host Celtic, with Kelechi Iheanacho of Celtic celebrating after his goal secured the win. Earlier in the week, Martin O’Neill confirmed that discussions had taken place with the Nigerian striker and underscored his eagerness to bring the matter to a swift close. Iheanacho had emerged as a pivotal presence toward the end of the previous campaign, producing a sequence of influential performances as Celtic clinched both the Scottish Premiership title and the Scottish Cup, completing a domestic double.
Although the forward has indicated a desire to remain with the Hoops, there has been no definitive decision announced regarding his future. According to Scott Burns of the Daily Record, Iheanacho is currently juggling several attractive offers. In addition to interest from clubs in the Middle East, Turkey, and Major League Soccer, interest in his services has been noted from various quarters, with Bursaspor in particular having been linked with a potential pursuit.
