Celtic Faces Bundesliga Competition, Seeks Kasper Dolberg Amid Price Dispute

Celtic is actively pursuing the signing of Danish striker Kasper Dolberg from Anderlecht to bolster their forward line after their Champions League exit. The Scottish club has made an official offer, reportedly around £8 million (€10.5 million), but Anderlecht has rejected it, demanding closer to £9.5-10 million (€12-13 million) plus bonuses. Anderlecht, despite recent European setbacks, prefer to retain Dolberg and are more inclined to sell or loan other attackers like Luis Vazquez. Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has emphasized that no departures, including that of Adam Idah, will occur until adequate replacements like Dolberg are secured. Personal terms between Celtic and Dolberg have yet to be agreed upon, adding complexity to the deal with the transfer window deadline approaching. Other clubs such as Borussia Monchengladbach are also reportedly interested in Dolberg, intensifying the competition for the striker.
