Celtic were interested in signing Kasper Høgh during the January transfer window after the striker impressed with his form in the Champions League, where he played a key role in helping Bodø/Glimt reach the round of 16.
The forward has emerged as one of the Norwegian club’s most important players, attracting attention from several leading European sides who are now expected to consider making a move in the summer transfer window.
While Bodø/Glimt would prefer to retain their key players, the club are understood to be open to selling if they receive suitable offers from top European teams, allowing them to reinvest in lower-cost replacements.
Høgh’s strong performances over recent months have increased the likelihood of a potential departure from the club, with growing interest across Europe.
As reported by Football Insider, Celtic are among the clubs monitoring the attacker closely as they look to strengthen their squad.
Following their Scottish Premiership title success, Celtic are expected to have greater financial flexibility in the transfer market and are keen to recruit players who can make an immediate impact at a higher level.
Celtic Step Up Interest
Celtic are reportedly planning to intensify their pursuit of Høgh in the coming weeks as they assess attacking options ahead of the new season.
The club are believed to view him as a strong addition to their forward line, particularly given his performances in European competition this season.
Bodø/Glimt are expected to consider offers for the striker if they meet their valuation, especially given the financial realities of competing with larger European clubs.
Competition For Signature
However, Celtic are unlikely to have a clear path to securing the deal, as other clubs across Europe are also expected to express interest in Høgh during the summer window.
Bodø/Glimt are anticipated to prioritise the highest financial offer when deciding on his future, meaning a bidding situation could develop.
As a result, the striker’s next destination is expected to depend heavily on which club is able to present the most attractive overall package, both financially and competitively.
