Union Berlin made Ilic's loan from Lille permanent for a £5m fee after a successful loan last season. He has not scored in the Bundesliga this season. According to reports, the club is open to a transfer for the 25-year-old. Union Berlin would prefer to sell, and the £9m asking price is considered likely to be beyond the Hoops' January budget for the striker.

According to recent reports, Andrej Ilić is a priority target for Celtic in the January window. Journalist Mark Hendry reported, based on information close to the player, that there has been no contact from Celtic, no approach from Glasgow, and no indication that talks are underway. Sources close to Ilić have indicated that there has been no approach from Celtic and no indication that talks are underway. The Union Berlin forward has been linked with Celtic. Ilić was previously put forward to Celtic when playing for Valerenga, but Celtic decided against a move at that time and no deal was completed. Ilić is under contract at Union Berlin, and any transfer would require negotiation.

According to Team Talk, Celtic are exploring a potential transfer for Union Berlin forward Andrej Ilic, and the Serbia international has become a key target during the January transfer window.

Union Berlin’s valuation is potentially around £9 million, and the transfer is described as very difficult to complete. There is competition from other interested clubs, including Premier League side Burnley.

Ilic was signed permanently by Union Berlin in the summer from OSC Lille for five million Euro after a previous loan, and his contract runs until 2027.
