Celtic’s pursuit of Benjamin Tahirovic is gathering serious momentum.
The Brøndby midfielder has been on the club’s radar for months, and reports now claim Celtic are preparing a strong financial package to bring him to Parkhead this summer.
But they are not alone.
FC Porto and Rangers are both monitoring the 22-year-old, setting up a potential transfer battle for one of Scandinavia’s most highly-rated midfielders.
Celtic Want To Move First
According to reports, Celtic are determined to act quickly before the situation develops into a full-blown bidding war.
The club’s recruitment team has been planning its summer business for months, and Tahirovic is believed to be one of the key names identified as part of a midfield rebuild.
A strong opening offer could give Celtic an early advantage.
Why Tahirovic Is In Demand
The Bosnia international has impressed since joining Brøndby and is regarded as a midfielder with the technical ability, physical presence, and versatility to thrive at a higher level.
At just 22, he also fits Celtic’s transfer model of signing young players with significant resale value.
Competition Is Growing
Porto’s interest represents a serious threat.
The Portuguese giants can offer European football and have a strong reputation for developing talent before selling players for huge profits.
Rangers have also been linked, although Celtic will be confident they remain in the stronger position if they move decisively.
The Bottom Line
Benjamin Tahirovic has been on Celtic’s shortlist for months.
Now the race is heating up.
Porto are watching. Rangers are interested.
But Celtic want to strike first — and make sure one of their top summer targets ends up in green and white.
