The latest transfer talk surrounding Celtic involves a potential move for Swedish winger Patrik Wålemark. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been linked with 18 possible arrivals and 6 potential exits as the summer window heats up. The hottest storyline right now is about Haissem Hassan. Below are the latest updates on some of the most important transfer rumours.
Patrik Wålemark
On Thursday, it was reported that Lech Poznan's 24-year-old Swedish winger Patrik Wålemark is one of several players being targeted by Celtic during their summer recruitment. Wålemark joined the Polish club in January 2025 and is under contract until June 2029. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €2.50m.
Chrislain Matsima
Celtic are interested in Augsburg's 24-year-old French centre-back Chrislain Matsima, with more additions expected at the club, as reported on Thursday. The club has already made four signings in the summer transfer window, focusing on their attack with players like striker Kasper Hogh from Bodo/Glimt and Camilo Durand from Qarabag. Matsima joined the German club in July 2025 and has a contract until 2030. Transfermarkt estimates his market value to be €22.00m, and several other clubs, including Crystal Palace, have also recently been linked with the defender.
Ermin Mahmić
According to Czech outlet inFotbal on Thursday, Celtic have been gathering information on Ermin Mahmić and the requirements for a transfer, though no move is understood to be at an advanced stage. The situation is described as information-gathering rather than advanced negotiations, and Celtic are looking at other targets for the same position. Liberec are believed to be looking for a fee of approximately €7million to €8million. Earlier on Thursday, it was reported that contact had been made between the two clubs for the 21-year-old attacking midfielder, with the Czech side reportedly looking for a fee of around £6 million to £7 million. Turkish club Besiktas have also been linked, but the connection to Celtic has been described as the most active over the last two weeks.
Niko Sigur
The Daily Record reported on Thursday that Niko Sigur from Hajduk Split is a high-priority target for Celtic, valued at £6m. Earlier in the day, it was noted that the club is preparing to make an approach for the 22-year-old, who can operate as a defensive midfielder, right-back, or centre-back. T Portal in Croatia reported that Celtic will contact the Croatian club with an offer of approximately €2.9m, though no formal bid has been made yet. Sigur has a contract until 2028, and his valuation has been cited differently, with Scottish media stating his club would ask for €4-5m.
Gvidas Gineitis
On Wednesday, it was reported that Celtic remain a strong option for Torino's Gvidas Gineitis, who they have been interested in throughout the summer. Contact has already been made regarding the player, who is said to be open to a move to Glasgow. While earlier reports suggested a high asking price, the latest updates suggest Torino’s demands may have dropped to approximately €8 million plus bonuses.
Miguel Chaiwa
Miguel Chaiwa's agent, Boudjemai Youcef, stated on Thursday that he believes Hibernian could be prepared to sell the player to Celtic for £3 million, despite reports placing Hibernian's valuation above £4 million. Youcef told CeltsAreHere that "for £3 million, Chaiwa can go to Celtic." The player remains keen on joining the club, but there have been no fresh talks between Celtic and Hibs since May, and there is no indication that new negotiations have started.
Dinko Horkaš
On Monday, Las Palmas president Miguel Ángel Ramírez said goalkeeper Dinko Horkaš has asked to leave but that the club will not let him go because the only offer they have, from Celtic, is not attractive. He stated Las Palmas are asking for five million euros and 50 per cent of any future transfer fee, while claiming Celtic are offering four million to be paid over four years. However, Spanish journalist Rafa León Ortega later reported that Ramírez clarified Celtic have not actually submitted an offer. CeltsAreHere also reports that while Celtic have been in contact with Las Palmas over the player, they have not submitted a formal bid.
