Fabrizio Romano, renowned for his insider knowledge on transfer deals, has officially confirmed Celtic’s successful acquisition of Swedish rising star Benjamin Nygren, shedding light on two crucial contract details.
The pursuit of Nygren by Celtic has been ongoing for several weeks, and it now appears that manager Brendan Rodgers is on track to secure his third summer signing. Following the capture of top talents Kieran Tierney and Ross Doohan, Nygren is poised to make his way to Parkhead as the latest addition to the Hoops squad.
Despite interest from clubs such as Brondby and FC Copenhagen, Rodgers has managed to secure Nygren’s talents in a deal with Nordsjælland for a transfer fee of €1.5m. The contract agreed upon extends until June 2029, with the added option for an extension until 2030, indicating Celtic’s strong belief in Nygren’s potential and long-term success at the club.
Moreover, expert insights from Danish football analyst Toke Theilade provide valuable perspective on Nygren’s journey to Celtic. Theilade notes Nygren’s early promise at Göteborg as a teenager, a subsequent move to Belgium that didn’t quite pan out, and his recent standout performances at Nordsjælland, where he has emerged as a top striker. With Nygren’s contract set to expire at the end of the year, Celtic’s acquisition of the young talent is deemed a bargain by Theilade, underscoring the excitement surrounding Nygren’s arrival at Parkhead.
