Napoli are among the clubs with strong interest in Arne Engels and have contacted his team. Engels' team has approached multiple clubs across Europe to facilitate a move to a top-five league this summer. Celtic are demanding a transfer fee of approximately £25m, but it is believed the club may be willing to accept an amount slightly less than that to finalize a deal. Engels has communicated his desire for a move to the Celtic board and has recently switched his representation from the Wasserman agency to DWMA in an effort to get a move completed this summer.

Napoli have made contact and registered their interest in Arne Engels.

TuttoMercatoWeb reports that Antonio Conte is considering Belgian international Arne Engels as a replacement for Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa. The Italian outlet states that Anguissa could depart Napoli this summer. It is also stated that whether Napoli would be willing to meet the potential asking price set by Celtic is a separate issue.

Napoli are considering a move for Celtic's Belgian midfielder Arne Engels. The Scottish club is reportedly asking for a minimum of 25 million euros for the 22-year-old, who is attracting significant interest this summer. Other clubs in Italy, such as AC Milan and AS Roma, have also been linked with Engels, while Fulham, Sunderland, and Nottingham Forest have been named as potential destinations in the Premier League. Engels, who has four caps for Belgium, joined Celtic from FC Augsburg in August 2024 for a reported €11 million and his current contract runs until 2028. In the 2025/2026 Scottish Premiership season, he made 25 appearances, scoring 4 goals and providing 2 assists. Celtic reportedly rejected a bid from Nottingham Forest worth up to £25m in early 2026.
