Arne Engels

Recent reports from June 2026 state Celtic's asking price for the player is a minimum of €25 million, with some suggesting it is over £25 million (approx. €29.5M). This follows a rejected bid from Nottingham Forest in February 2026 reportedly worth up to £25 million, which included a guaranteed £20 million (approx. €23.5M). Earlier bids from Forest of £14 million (approx. €16.5M) and £17.3 million (approx. €20M) were also rejected in the same window. In April 2026, Lazio reportedly valued the player between €15-20 million. His current Transfermarkt value is listed as €20 million. For context, Celtic signed him from FC Augsburg in August 2024 for a reported €11 million.

Our valuation is driven by the widely reported rejected bid of up to £25 million (approx. €29.5M) from Nottingham Forest in early 2026, which sets a firm floor. Current rumours from June 2026 state Celtic's asking price is a minimum of €25M and likely 'more than £25m'. The significant and widespread interest in Arne Engels from multiple clubs in England, Italy, and Germany suggests a competitive environment that will likely drive the final fee above the previously rejected offer.
