The long-standing interest of Celtic in Brondby striker Mathias Kvistgaarden seems to be reaching its conclusion this summer. Kvistgaarden has been on Celtic’s radar since as far back as 2023, with the Hoops even making an inquiry to sign him in January.
Despite late bids, Brondby was determined to hold onto Kvistgaarden for the remaining season, and that’s exactly what happened. However, at the beginning of May, Eintracht Frankfurt also showed a keen interest in the striker who displayed an impressive performance with 23 goals in 38 games last season.
Kvistgaarden recently hinted at a potential departure from Brondby, stating that he is ready for the next step in his career. Unfortunately for Celtic, their pursuit of Kvistgaarden has hit another roadblock.
Now, West Ham United has reportedly joined the race to sign him, with the Daily Mail suggesting that at least £12m will be needed to secure his services. With Kvistgaarden also receiving a call-up to the senior Denmark national team, his value has continued to rise.
Brondby’s director of football, Benjamin Schmedes, revealed that no official bids have been made for Kvistgaarden as of yet. He emphasized that they will only consider offers when they are on the table and discussed, signaling that Kvistgaarden remains a key player of interest for many clubs across the major leagues.
