Celtic Nears £8.5m Kasper Dolberg Signing Amid Adam Idah Swansea Exit

Celtic are intensifying their pursuit of striker Kasper Dolberg from Anderlecht, with reports indicating they are prepared to pay over £8 million to secure the 27-year-old Danish international before the transfer deadline. Anderlecht's recent exit from the Europa Conference League has forced the Belgian club to consider selling key players, making Dolberg available for a transfer. Brendan Rodgers, Celtic's manager, sees Dolberg as a replacement for Adam Idah, whose move to Swansea City for around £7 million is close to completion. The transfer funds from Idah's departure will help finance Dolberg's acquisition. Dolberg, who scored 24 goals last season and has been prolific internationally, shares a close friendship with Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, highlighting a strong connection between the two players. Meanwhile, Celtic have also increased their offer for Hammarby winger Sebastian Tounekti, indicating broader recruitment efforts ahead of the transfer window closing.
