Celtic could soon submit a bid for a player the Bhoys have tracked since at least 2020 after signing Kasper Schmeichel.
Brendan Rodgers recently managed to lure the Denmark international to Glasgow – having previously worked with the Dane at Leicester City.
Now, Celtic could bid for a player they have monitored for years after securing the signing of Kasper Schmeichel…
Celtic targeting Jakub Kaluzinski
A story from Sporx in Turkey now claims that Celtic could soon make a bid for Jakub Kaluzinski.
The Poland international is being valued at €4m (£3.4m) by Antalyaspor this summer, with Real Valladolid also keen to secure his signature.
Sporx believe the Spanish side have already seen a €2.5m (£2.1m) offer rejected.
Interestingly, the Turkish news outlet add that Celtic could soon make a bid of their own, having monitored Kaluzinski since his time at Lechia Gdańsk – which started in 2020 and ended in July 2023 when he signed for Antalyaspor.
The man from Gdańsk – aged 21 – made 35 appearances in defensive midfield for Antalyaspor last season, providing two assists.
Kaluzinski also made Poland’s preliminary squad for UEFA Euro 2024 this summer, but did not make the final cut.
Bhoys must be quick
Celtic need to decide whether they are serious about signing Kaluzinski soon, as Sporx believe Real Valladolid are already preparing an improved bid.
The Spanish side are seemingly making good progress in negotiations with Antalyaspor, and will be able to move onto discussions over personal terms with the Pole if a fee is agreed.
That would leave Celtic even further behind in this transfer battle, so those at Celtic Park must submit a bid for Kaluzinski soon, or else they risk missing out on the Antalyaspor No.18 this summer – there could soon be money to spend too, as Atalanta keep bidding to sign Matt O’Riley.
Ultimately, a sum of £3.4m is not a lot to spend on a promising 21-year-old who is showing excellent development, and if the move goes well, Celtic could stand to make a huge profit, given his age.
