Arne Engels

In January 2026, reports linked RB Leipzig with the player, suggesting Celtic would want between €15 million and €20 million, while Leipzig was reportedly considering an £11 million (~€13 million) bid. Earlier, in May 2025, rumours of interest from Atalanta mentioned potential figures topping £30 million (~€35 million). In January 2025, reports claimed Celtic would demand €18-19 million, while others suggested they would want at least double the approximate £11 million fee they paid, equating to around €26 million. The player completed his transfer from FC Augsburg to Celtic in August 2024 for a reported €11.0 million.

Our valuation is driven by recent and specific reports from January 2026 linking Arne Engels to RB Leipzig. A German journalist cited a specific asking price range of €15 million to €20 million from Celtic, which aligns with Celtic's stated desire for a significant profit on their initial investment. While older rumours linked him to Atalanta with higher figures, the more recent and concrete numbers from the Leipzig interest form the basis of our estimate.
