Celtic remain interested in bringing Bojan Miovski back to the Scottish Premiership, but they now face strong competition from Germany. Both Freiburg and newly promoted Bundesliga side Hamburg are looking at the striker this summer. [Gol]
Miovski was a key player for Aberdeen, scoring 44 goals in 98 appearances before moving to Girona last year. However, his time in Spain has not gone to plan. He found the net just four times in 25 matches and struggled for regular starts.
Girona are now open to selling Miovski, and several clubs across Europe are watching closely. Celtic have been long-term admirers and are in the market for a proven goalscorer, but interest from Germany is making any deal more complicated.
Freiburg have experience in Europe and are known for developing players, while Hamburg are returning to the Bundesliga after a seven-year absence and are looking to strengthen their squad. Both clubs have the backing and ambition to compete for Miovski’s signature.
Girona are believed to want close to what they paid Aberdeen last summer, but with his form dipping, Miovski’s price is thought to be around £2.5 million. That would be a more manageable fee for Celtic, but they may need to move quickly to stay in the race.
Clubs in England are also keeping tabs on the situation. Rangers have previously been linked, but it’s Celtic who appear more serious at this stage.
Miovski already knows the Scottish game well and showed he can score regularly at this level. If Celtic want him back in the Premiership, they’ll need to act soon, with interest growing across the continent.
