Celtic Faces Rising Fee for Norwegian Winger Amid PSV Competition

Celtic is actively preparing for the upcoming season, focusing on strengthening their squad after securing Kieran Tierney's return and Ross Doohan's arrival. The club is targeting winger Sondre Ørjasæter, who has impressed with 7 goals and 10 assists in 40 appearances, but faces competition from European clubs including PSV, Lille, and others, with Sarpsborg demanding a significantly increased £11 million fee compared to the £4.6 million offer made in January. Celtic also needs to reinforce their attacking options beyond Adam Idah and Daizen Maeda and is considering adding another winger due to Jota's injury. Meanwhile, other Scottish clubs are active in the transfer market, with St Mirren signing Liam Donnelly and Hibs aiming to make their loan star Nectar Triantis a permanent signing. Additionally, former Celtic target Said Hamulic is on Dundee United's radar, though his transfer talks have encountered visa and work permit challenges. Overall, Celtic’s recruitment strategy this summer will be crucial to maintaining domestic dominance and improving their European performances.
