Arne Engels

Recent reports from April 2026 mention Lazio's valuation of €15-20m and a Transfermarkt value of €18m. This follows a very active February 2026, where Nottingham Forest reportedly had three bids rejected by Celtic: an initial £14m (~€16.5m), an improved £17.3m (€20m), and a final offer of a £20m (~€24m) guaranteed fee with £5m (~€6m) in add-ons, totalling up to ~€30m. Earlier, in January 2026, reports linked to RB Leipzig suggested Celtic would want €15-20m. In May 2025, figures topping £30m (~€35m) were mentioned amid interest from Atalanta. The player was signed by Celtic from FC Augsburg in August 2024 for a reported €11m.

Our valuation is driven by the series of concrete bids from Nottingham Forest in February 2026, culminating in a rejected offer worth up to approximately €30 million (£25m). Crucially, reports indicate this rejection was due to the late timing in the transfer window rather than the fee itself, with strong suggestions that Celtic would accept a similar offer for Arne Engels in the summer. This provides a firm and recent benchmark for his market value.
