Celtic’s search for a new goalkeeper to replace the retired Joe Hart has led them to Peter Vindahl Jensen, but their pursuit faces challenges.

The 26-year-old Danish goalkeeper, currently with Sparta Prague, has emerged as a significant target for Brendan Rodgers’ side. However, according to reports from the Czech Republic, Sparta Prague is keen on retaining him.
Czech sports outlet iSport has highlighted that Sparta Prague has no intentions of letting Vindahl Jensen go this summer.
Sparta Prague’s firm stance is seen as a response to the potential disruption his departure could cause, especially after recent exits from the club have already impacted the team.
The club is determined to keep Vindahl Jensen, seeing him as a vital component in their quest for European success and domestic success.
This situation places Celtic in a difficult position as they continue their search for a goalkeeper capable of stepping into Hart’s shoes.
It was thought that a fee of £8 million could see Celtic take a step closer to signing Joe Hart’s successor, but this report from the Czech Republic does cast doubt on that.
