Celtic’s reported interest in Benjamin Tahirovic looks increasingly logical because the midfielder’s value may not stay this accessible for long.
Reports that the club are preparing a stronger financial offer come just as the Brondby player’s Bosnia and Herzegovina profile continues to grow.
The timing matters. Tahirovic has just received another Bosnia and Herzegovina call-up, which only increases visibility around a player Celtic have reportedly tracked since his Ajax days.

Celtic know waiting for Tahirovic could become expensive
Bosnian outlet SportSport says Celtic are preparing a stronger financial offer, which suggests this is no longer casual scouting interest.
The midfielder still carries the reputation of a player once trusted by both Roma and Ajax, even if his development has not been completely straightforward in recent years.
Celtic may not get many chances to sign a player with Tahirovic’s background at this stage of his career. Additional reports have already linked Porto with interest, while Tahirovic’s growing international profile could easily inflate Brondby’s asking price if Celtic delay.
At 23, he also fits the recruitment model Celtic increasingly favour. There is enough experience there already, but still obvious room for development.
Brondby’s situation could hand Celtic an opportunity
The other important factor is the uncertainty currently surrounding Brondby.
Recent instability at the Danish club may create a transfer window Celtic believe is worth exploring now rather than later.
That does not mean Brondby are desperate to sell. However, managerial upheaval and squad uncertainty can change negotiations quickly, especially when a player’s profile is rising internationally.
Celtic appear to recognise that reality.
Tahirovic may not arrive as a finished product, but this feels like a calculated move rather than a gamble. If Celtic genuinely believe there is still untapped potential in the former Ajax and Roma midfielder, then moving before his value climbs further could prove smart business.
