🚨 THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH CELTIC IS GONE 🚨

Celtic are facing a brewing storm inside the dressing room after rejecting late January bids worth a combined £40 million for Arne Engels and Daizen Maeda — a decision that has reportedly left both players furious.

According to sources close to the club, Nottingham Forest made a strong last-minute push for Belgian midfielder Arne Engels, while Sevilla tabled a serious offer for Japanese international Maeda as the transfer window ticked into its final moments. Celtic, however, stood firm and rejected both approaches, slamming the door shut just as the clock ran out.

What was meant to show strength in negotiations has instead sparked internal frustration.

Both players were understood to be open to new challenges, with the moves seen as major career steps. The rejection — especially so late in the window — has now strained relations, with sources claiming the players feel blocked and disrespected by the club’s handling of the situation.

> “It’s caused more harm than good,” one insider revealed. “The timing made it worse. There was no chance to reset or find compromise.”

From Celtic’s perspective, the decision was about protecting squad depth and avoiding disruption mid-season. But that stance may now come at a cost. With tempers flaring and trust shaken, the fallout could linger well beyond January.

As things stand, the relationship has taken a serious hit, and all eyes will be on how Celtic manage the situation heading into the next transfer window — because this story is far from over. 👀🍀
