The Serie A outfit are keen to bring the highly-rated Scottish midfielder to Italy, with talks understood to be progressing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">For Celtic, it\u2019s a situation that raises more questions than answers. CeltsAreHere understands there has been no approach from the Parkhead hierarchy to Motherwell this summer, despite holding brief discussions over the player\u2019s availability back in January. Those winter talks ended quickly when Motherwell made it clear they weren\u2019t prepared to sell mid-season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">At the time, it seemed like a conversation that could be picked up again once the summer window opened. But that hasn\u2019t happened \u2014 and Udinese are now firmly in the driving seat.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-126087\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-06-06T205141Z_388965401_UP1EL661LY35X_RTRMADP_3_SOCCER-FRIENDLY-SCO-ICE-REPORT.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1340\"  \/>Soccer Football \u2013 International Friendly \u2013 Scotland v Iceland \u2013 Hampden Park, Glasgow, Scotland, Britain \u2013 June 6, 2025 Scotland\u2019s Lennon Miller and Iceland\u2019s Aron Gunnarsson after the match REUTERS\/Russell Cheyne<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Miller, just 18, emerged as one of the SPFL\u2019s standout young players last season. Calm on the ball, tactically mature, and boasting a strong passing range, he fits the profile of a homegrown player Celtic have often targeted to strengthen and future-proof their squad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">That makes the lack of summer follow-up from Celtic all the more surprising. With the club\u2019s transfer business already under the microscope, watching one of the country\u2019s top prospects leave for a relatively modest fee \u2014 and to a club outside Scotland \u2014 is bound to leave supporters questioning the club\u2019s recruitment priorities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If Udinese get their man, Miller would join a growing list of Scottish talents making an impact in Serie A, following in the footsteps of Lewis Ferguson and Aaron Hickey. For Motherwell, a \u00a34.5m sale would be a record-breaking transfer and a major boost to their finances.<\/p>\n<p>    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teesfortims.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/celtic.jpeg\" alt=\"Tees for Tims\" width=\"100%\"\/><br \/>\n    <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Udinese are pressing ahead with a move to sign Motherwell\u2019s Lennon Miller in a deal worth around \u00a34.5&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":60339,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-60338","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-soccer","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60338","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60338"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60338\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60338"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60338"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
