Celta Vigo has shown interest in Celje's 26-year-old Croatian centre-forward Franko Kovačević, who has interest from numerous clubs because of his goal-scoring form. The Spanish club is reportedly one of several teams from Europe and other continents monitoring the player, and Fiorentina, Sparta Prague, and other clubs from Italy's Serie A are also said to be interested. While it is considered too early for official offers, it is reported that intermediaries for various clubs are making inquiries to determine his price. Kovačević joined Celje in July 2025 and is under contract until 2028. In 10 appearances in the Prva Liga this season, he has scored 2 goals and provided 1 assist. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €700k.
