Celtic Make Initial Approach for Benjamin Tahirovic

The club has asked Brøndby for the 23-year-old midfielder’s availability and price as part of a planned midfield rebuild backed by increased summer spending.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Celtic have contacted Brøndby to request information on Benjamin Tahirovic’s availability and asking price, but no formal offer has been made and no deal is agreed.
  • Tahirovic is a 23-year-old Bosnia and Herzegovina international who has roughly 28 caps and established himself at Brøndby after a 2025 move from Ajax.
  • He was highly rated earlier in his career, with Sven Mislintat once calling him one of the greatest talents he had seen, though Tahirovic’s spell at Ajax did not work out long term.
  • Celtic’s enquiry is being framed as part of manager Martin O’Neill’s planned midfield overhaul and the club’s reported willingness to increase summer transfer spending to strengthen the squad.
  • The transfer remains exploratory and could be affected by market factors including competing suitors, any change in Tahirovic’s valuation from international exposure, and wider summer activity at Brøndby and Celtic.
