Celtic have decided to put Sweden midfielder Benjamin Nygren on the market after a prolific first season in Scotland. The 24‑year‑old netted ten goals and eight assists, turning the midfield into a scoring threat. Interest has already come from Tottenham, Brighton, Bournemouth and Valencia, all eager to add a dynamic playmaker to their squads for the upcoming campaign this season.

Celtic’s manager, Michael O’Neill, is reportedly ready to negotiate a fee around £26 million, a figure that could see the club recoup a sizable portion of the investment made in the Swedish talent. The move would leave a void in the midfield that the club will need to fill quickly, as the league race tightens and rivals eye gaps in their own squads.

If the transfer materialises, Tottenham could strengthen their midfield ahead of a congested schedule, while Celtic would have to look elsewhere for creativity. The potential sale underscores the club’s willingness to monetize talent developed in the Scottish Premiership. Fans will watch closely to see whether the move proceeds and how it reshapes both clubs’ strategies for the rest of the season.
