Celtic's Strategic Moves: Chasing De Haas and Other Transfer Updates

Celtic is actively pursuing Dutch defender Justin de Haas and other key players to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.

Celtic is making strategic moves in the transfer market to bolster their squad for the upcoming season. The Scottish giants are reportedly considering a £3m move for Dutch central defender Justin de Haas, who currently plays for Portuguese club Famalicao. This potential acquisition highlights Celtic's intent to strengthen their defensive line.

In addition to De Haas, Celtic remains in talks with Royal Antwerp over the transfer of Michel-Ange Balikwisha. The club is also showing interest in Isak Jansson from Rapid Vienna as they aim to secure two new wingers. These moves indicate Celtic's comprehensive approach to enhancing both their defense and attack.

Meanwhile, Celtic defender Gustaf Lagerbielke has completed a medical with Portuguese side Braga ahead of a prospective £2m move. This transfer could provide Lagerbielke with more playing time and experience in a competitive league.

In other transfer news, Burkina Faso winger Pierre Landry Kabore is set to undergo a medical this week before joining Hearts from Estonian side FK Narva Trans. This move could significantly strengthen Hearts' attacking options.

Norwich City has reached an agreement to sign long-term Celtic target Mathias Kvistgaarden from Brondby. This development might be a setback for Celtic, but they continue to explore other options to ensure a robust squad.

Finally, Davide Ancelotti, who held talks with Rangers over the summer, has agreed to become the new head coach at Brazilian club Botafogo. This appointment marks a new chapter in Ancelotti's coaching career, bringing his expertise to South American football.

Stay tuned for more updates as the transfer window progresses and teams finalize their squads for the upcoming season.
