Celtic open talks with Swedish midfielder’s agent over £2m move | OneFootball

Celtic have reportedly entered in talks with Benjamin Nygren’s representatives over a summer move. Brendan Rodgers’ side are active in the market and have been granted permission by Nordsjaelland to discuss a move with the player.

The Swedish Internationalist has been linked with a move to the Scottish Champions over the last 48 hours and in an update on Thursday evening, Sky Sports are reporting Celtic are in talks with the player’s agent.

The attacking midfielder can play as a winger on either side and is out of contract in January, meaning he is available for a cut price deal this summer. After 20 goal involvements for the Danish club, Nygren is attracting interest from Europe with Celtic eager to sign the player now.

Nygren has won four caps for Sweden since making his International debut in March and has scored two goals, continuing his fine rise.

Celtic have already secured Kieran Tierney on a five year deal and are expected to sign both Ross Doohan and Callum Osmond. The Welsh attacker will cost a compensation fee while the goalkeeper returns to the club as a free agent.

Celtic have been linked with Sarpsborg’s Sondre Orjasaeter and Royal Antwerp’s Michel-Ange Balikwisha, as the club target a winger. The focus in the early stages of the window appears to be for attacking flair, with the team lacking in the final third at times after Reo Hatate and Jota were ruled out through injury. The interesting wingers may indicate that Brendan sees Daizen Maeda as a central forward or, perhaps, the club anticipate interest in the 2024/25 PFA Scotland POTY.
