Celtic have reportedly reopened talks with Norwegian side Sarpsborg as they look to sign winger Sondre Ørjasæter. The 21-year-old was previously said to be on Celtic’s radar in January, but the two clubs couldn’t agree on a fee at the time.
He has had a strong season so far in the Eliteserien, scoring a goal and providing three assists in 7 league games. His performances have also drawn attention from other clubs in Europe too, with teams in Germany, the Netherlands, and Italy said to be keeping an eye on him.

Celtic’s interest in the winger appears to have not gone away, and the club now looks to be revisiting the deal as they prepare for the new season. While no formal offer has been made yet, discussions are said to be active again between the two sides.
Brendan Rodgers is looking to strengthen his squad this summer, especially in wide areas. Ørjasæter is known for his pace and skill on the ball, and he fits the profile of a player who could add something different to the attack.
Whether Celtic will return with a higher bid remains to be seen. The club may try to negotiate a deal below Sarpsborg’s asking price, but competition from elsewhere could drive the price up.
With the transfer window opening soon, this could be one to watch. Celtic will want to move quickly if they see Ørjasæter as a key target. For now, the talks are ongoing, and it’s clear the winger remains firmly on the radar.
