I can’t promise that Silas will stay.”As a result, it is clear that a sale is heavily likely this summer, and with clubs such as Sporting CP lurking, Celtic cannot wait around.They must quickly appoint a new manager so that they can get their transfer plans underway.If not, they risk missing out on long-term targets such as Andersen, who clearly has the quality to be a massive asset next campaign.This could also really come back to haunt the club if he goes on to sign for Rangers and has a big impact at Ibrox next season.What other positions are Celtic targeting?Football Insider has exclusively revealed that Celtic are aiming to sign goalkeeper Nikolas Polster this summer.Austrian side Wolfsberger are willing to cash in on the 23-year-old gloveman, who is interested in a move to the Old Firm club.The Bhoys are in the market for a new first-choice goalkeeper to finally end their woes in this department.Celtic will have to battle Wolves for Polster, who is reportedly valued at £1.75million after he kept eight clean sheets from 29 games in the Austrian Bundesliga this term.However, it remains to be seen if Celtic are able to bring in the goalkeeper this summer or if they are forced to move on to other targets as their transfer plans continue to remain on hold.
