Celtic are interested in 21-year-old Slovan Liberec attacking midfielder Ermin Mahmić, a dual citizen of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Austria, who scored twice for Bosnia and Herzegovina at the summer's World Cup. Contact has been made between the two clubs, with Celtic attempting to find out the conditions required for a deal. Celtic are awaiting full details but also have other players under consideration for the position.

The Czech side are reportedly looking for a fee of around £6 million to £7 million. Turkish club Besiktas have also been linked with the player, but that is considered an unrealistic move, and the link to Celtic has been described as the most active over the last two weeks. Mahmić, who has five caps for his country, joined Liberec in July 2025 and is under contract until June 2029. His current Transfermarkt market value is €7.00m.
