He was sent out on loan to Olympiacos in January of this year. He won the Greek top-flight with the side, although he is currently due to return to Glasgow this summer.
While the Honduran is expected to report to Celtic for pre-season, his entourage are 'already working' on a summer transfer, claims oncenoticias.hn.
It remains to be seen whether Palma would depart the Scottish Premiership champions on a permanent or temporary basis, with his current Parkhead deal not due to expire until the summer of 2028.
Palma spoke last week to the media in his homeland regarding his future and the recent season: "Winning titles is always good," he said.
"This season has been a great learning experience for me. Now we hope the upcoming preseason will be the best. I have to return to Celtic.
"The experience was very nice, because I'd been there before (after playing for Aris), and being in the biggest team in Greece is very nice."
Asked about interest from other clubs, he added: "I have a contract with Celtic, I can't talk about any other team. From the moment I have a contract, I have a chance of earning a spot."

Former Hearts and Charlton ace Scott Fraser has revealed his frustration after an injury-ravaged campaign at Scottish Premiership side Dundee. The 30-year-old, who made 11 appearances on loan at Tynecastle last year before making the move to Dens Park, is currently set to depart Dundee with his contract up this month. While at Hearts under Steven Naismith, Fraser helped the Gorgie club finish third in the table. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad When on the pitch, Hearts only lost twice when he played - with both of those outings defeats to either side of the Old Firm, Rangers then Celtic in the split. In what his first start under then-boss Tony Docherty, Fraser picked up a groin issue and he has since been plagued by issues that have 'tested him both mentally and physically' over the past 12 months. He went on to make two showings off the bench but that came after six months out, and he has now went under the knife again - posting on social media platform X about his injury-hell. Ex-Hearts ace Fraser will 'come back stronger' He said: 'Over these past months, I've faced a lot disappointment, really for the first time in my career. Moments outwith my control that have tested me both mentally and physically. Instead of letting those challenges define me, I used them as fuel to grow and get better, both as a player and as a person away from the pitch. I stayed committed, kept working hard everyday, and focused only on what I could control. 'Through it all, it's certainly tested my character, staying positive and pushing forward when it wasn't easy and I'm proud of myself for that. Now, with that experience behind me, I feel more motivated than ever and ready to come back stronger, sharper, and better than before. I'm excited for the future. I absolutely love playing football and cannot wait to be back fully fit and able to do what I do.'

First pre-season friendly of Neil Lennon's new Dunfermline Athletic era announced
Dunfermline will play Fife neighbours Kelty Hearts in a pre-season friendly. The match is thought to have been mooted as part of the deal that took Michael Tidser from Kelty to East End Park back in January for his short-lived stint as manager. It is the first of this summer's friendlies involving the Pars to be announced. Neil Lennon is scheduled to take his side the short journey to New Central Park on Saturday, July 5, with a 3 pm kick-off. The teams met last season in the SPFL Trust Trophy, with Dunfermline winning 2-1 thanks to goals from Chris Kane and Matty Todd. The Fifers begin their Premier Sports Cup campaign a week later with a glamour trip to face Hearts at Tynecastle. That game, which will feature Derek McInnes' debut competitive match in charge of Hearts, has been chosen for live television. Dunfermline are also expected to also play friendlies on the weekend of June 28/29 as well as the following two midweeks as Lennon prepares his side for his first full season in charge. The former Celtic and Hibernian boss, who took over for the last seven games of last term, recently penned a new two-year deal to stay on at East End Park. Kelty are also under new management, with defender Tam O'Ware being handed the reins permanently after a short stint as caretaker following the departure of Charlie Mulgrew in April. The League One side will also face Kirkcaldy & Dysart on June 28, Broxburn Athletic on July 1 and Clyde on July 8 before kicking off their cup campaign with a trip to Brora Rangers on July 15.
