The attacker was not a man his former club were willing to let go lightly before his first team stepped up.
He could have been on his way to Portugal in 2022 - but another last-minute intervention paved Luis Palma's route to Celtic.
Club president Luis Cruz has been left delighted that Celtic are his former player's landing spot but he has told LaPrensa that Vida gave up some of their sell-on clause to ensure Palma could move. And anything otherwise could have killed the deal, albeit they still landed a sizeable chunk of change. He explained: "At the beginning of last year we had everything closed with Braga.
"The Aris people put pressure on us and we as a club were the ones who were hurt, but we made the best decision to support Luis with his career. We know that his departure from Aris was the best thing that could have happened to him, now it is his turn to prove and earn a place in Celtic's starting team and we know that the club's path is super difficult, but Luis has a lot of quality.
