Super Eagles striker Kelechi Iheanacho has reportedly reached an agreement to join Turkish club Bursaspor after his contract with Scottish champions Celtic expired at the end of the 2025/2026 season.
Iheanacho moved to Celtic last summer after mutually terminating his contract with Spanish side Sevilla, where he endured a difficult 2024/2025 campaign.
The Nigerian international rediscovered his form in Scotland and, despite battling injuries during the season, played an important role as Celtic lifted a domestic double.
His performances made him a valuable member of the squad, but the Hoops opted against activating the purchase option in his contract at the end of the campaign, leaving his future uncertain.
The decision sparked speculation over his next destination, with Celtic manager Martin O’Neill confirming the club have opened discussions over the possibility of a new agreement.
However, the latest reports indicate that Iheanacho has chosen a different path.
According to Yeni Açık TV reporter Ertan Süzgün, the Nigerian International has reached an agreement with Bursaspor and has signed a three-year contract that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2029.
The move is expected to provide Bursaspor with a major attacking boost as they strengthen their squad ahead of the 2026/2027 Turkish Super Lig campaign.
For Iheanacho, the transfer offers another opportunity to continue his career in European football after successful spells in England and Scotland.
Should the deal be officially confirmed, the Super Eagles striker will be expected to bring his experience, goalscoring ability and creativity to Bursaspor as the club look to make a strong impression in the upcoming season.
