Celtic are reportedly preparing a strong financial offer for former target, Brondby midfielder Benjamin Tahirovic…
The midfield star had been courted by the Scottish Premiership title holders in previous transfer windows and had earmarked the Bosnian international as a potential candidate, to help give more competition in the midfield area and was even said to be our Arne Engels “contingency plan”, when Nottingham Forest tested our resolve with a deadline day £25 million bid for the Belgian.
Now though, according to a report by SportSport.ba outlet in his homeland of Bosnia, Tahirovic is supposedly bring lined up for a move to the Celtic Park this summertime.
They state that interest in the ex-Ajax player is sky high this window, with a plethora of clubs all keen to check his availability, with Porto and our second big rival from Ibrox this season interested in him too.
Celtic’s stronger financial offer
However, they add that the Bhoys are the most concrete at this point in time and are said to be preparing a “stronger financial offer” for the midfielder. Tahirovic has managed 32 appearances for Brondby this term, scoring one goal and assisting once, although his profile is more that of a defensive midfielder, as opposed to a goalscoring one.
Tahirovic could be open to the move too, as it openly revealed that he has been out of favour with his coach this campaign, for the most part.
However, it is claimed that Brondby may hold off to see how Benjamin plays at the World Cup in a few weeks time, holding fire on a quick sale to see if they can drive up the price.
Arne Engels will attract interest this summer
It adds yet more speculation as to the future of our Belgian star Engels, who highlighted why we missed his athleticism and running power when he returned to the fold alongside Alistair Johnston, to help drive us over the finish line this season in a breathtaking finale.
Interest in him will be high following the original bids from Forest in the winter. It would be no surprise to see more significant bids from England and beyond arrive on the new Celtic manager’s desk, whenever he is appointed.
