The latest transfer talk surrounding Celtic centres on a potential move for Niko Sigur, but conflicting reports have emerged. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 16 possible arrivals and 5 potential exits as the window heats up, with the hottest storyline right now concerning Julian Araujo. Below are the latest updates on some of the most important transfer rumours.
Niko Sigur
On Wednesday, CeltsAreHere confirmed that while Celtic are interested in Niko Sigur from Hajduk Split, the transfer is not close to completion, with negotiations not yet at an advanced stage. This followed an earlier claim from Croatian outlet 24Sata that an agreement had been reached but was put on hold by Celtic following Wilfried Nancy's sacking. Prior to that, journalist Ižak Ante Sučić reported that the 22-year-old Canadian international was very close to joining Celtic, with the club said to be finalising the deal.
Callum Wilson
Former Celtic player Chris Sutton on Wednesday suggested the club should consider signing Callum Wilson. It is reported that the 33-year-old former England striker is nearing a mutual contract termination with West Ham United. Wilson, who has scored three goals since joining the Premier League side on a free transfer from Newcastle United, was recently left out of the matchday squad. Sutton acknowledged that Wilson has been injury-prone but argued Celtic should take a risk on him, also stating there was talk of the player's contract ending at West Ham.
Silas Andersen
On Tuesday, it was reported that several clubs, including Celtic, are showing an interest in 21-year-old Danish midfielder Silas Andersen. Rangers are reportedly foremost among the clubs attempting to sign him and have made contact about a potential January move. Andersen is currently under contract at Häcken until June 2028 and is not expected to be inexpensive.
Stefan Ortega
According to The Athletic on Wednesday, Manchester City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega is reportedly in exploratory talks with several clubs ahead of a January exit. Earlier reports indicated Celtic are interested in signing Ortega, whose contract expires next summer. It was noted that Pep Guardiola wants the goalkeeper to leave the squad as quickly as possible, which could create an opportunity for Celtic in January.
Steven Moreira
On Sunday, Columbus Crew player Steven Moreira was spotted inside Celtic Park. The 31-year-old versatile Cape Verdean and French international has one year remaining on his deal with the MLS club. It is understood it would cost around £700,000 to secure the player, who was previously converted from a right-back into a central defender by his mentor, Wilfried Nancy.
Kyogo Furuhashi
A potential return to Celtic for Kyogo Furuhashi could be prevented by his salary, according to a Capology report on Monday. The striker is Birmingham City’s highest earner at £35,000 per week, and it is stated that a return would reportedly only be possible through a loan deal that involves a massive pay cut. This follows a report from The Daily Record nine days ago on the potential return of the player.
Diego Rossi
Manager Wilfried Nancy is reportedly interested in bringing Columbus Crew striker Diego Rossi to Celtic in the January transfer window, according to a report on Saturday. Signing the player, who is contracted until December 2026, could cost Celtic up to $10m (£7.42m). Eight days ago, The Daily Record reported that while Rossi is interested in a reunion with Nancy, it would take a major offer to acquire him.
