Celtic are weighing up a move for Danish striker Kasper Dolberg, with discussions reportedly planned with Anderlecht later today.
Anderlecht’s stance has shifted in recent days after their surprise elimination from the Conference League by AEK Athens. The defeat has left the Brussels club under financial strain, and Dolberg is among the players who could be moved on to balance the books. He has two years left on his contract, but his future now appears uncertain.
The 27-year-old is no stranger to the European stage, having broken through at Ajax before spells in Ligue 1 and La Liga. His record with the Danish national team further underlines his pedigree, and his profile fits the kind of proven centre-forward Celtic are seeking following Adam Idah’s expected departure to Swansea.
Interest in Dolberg is not limited to Glasgow. Clubs across the continent are monitoring the situation, with Anderlecht already knocking back an approach from Qatar.
Despite that, Celtic are thought to be firmly in the race and are hopeful of edging ahead with formal talks now set to take place.
The next few days could prove decisive. Rodgers has been open about the need for attacking reinforcements, and Dolberg’s arrival would represent one of Celtic’s most ambitious moves of the summer. With the deadline looming on Monday, the Hoops may need to move quickly to fend off competition and get the deal over the line.
