Celtic are on the verge of signing Kasper Dolberg.

The Hoops need a quality striker through the door before the summer transfer window closes at 7pm on Monday evening.

Adam Idah is close to a Swansea City move, and it is almost certain that his replacement will be Anderlecht’s Danish hitman Dolberg.

Sky Sports reported that Celtic and Anderlecht were in talks on Friday morning, but now there’s been a further development.

Bold are claiming that Dolberg is very close to signing a four-year contract with Celtic in a transfer worth around £8m.

They state: “According to Bold’s information, Kasper Dolberg is close to switching to the Scottish giants, who are sending 8 million pounds – equivalent to just under 70 million kroner – in Anderlecht’s direction.

“The club’s coffers in Brussels are in turmoil after the Belgians missed out on European football on Thursday when they lost to AEK Athens in the Conference League playoff.

“Now they can instead look forward to collecting a larger amount of millions on the Danish national team striker.

“As Bold understands it, only the final details need to fall into place before Dolberg will sign a four-year deal with Celtic.”

Conflicting Dolberg reports have emerged

Danish media seem pretty confident that Dolberg will leave Anderlecht to sign for Celtic – but one Belgian journalist isn’t convinced.

DH les Sports + reporter Romain Van der Pluym claims: “There has been an official offer from @CelticFC for Kasper Dolberg. It is not deemed sufficient.

“In terms of the transfer fee for Anderlecht and the salary for the player, Celtic will need to make a new approach to convince the player and RSCA.”

Moreover, The Herald’s Stephen McGowan has backed up Van der Pluym’s report that Celtic are yet to match what Anderlecht want for Dolberg.

He has written: “Anderlecht have told Celtic to increase their offer for Danish international Kasper Dolberg. 

“The Parkhead side are prepared to pay a sum in the region of £8million to land the 27-year-old as a replacement for Swansea target Adam Idah. 

“After initial talks, Celtic have yet to match Anderlecht’s asking price or the player’s personal terms.  

“Despite the financial blow of crashing out of Europe after a defeat to AEK Athens on Thursday night the Belgians are reluctant to let their biggest asset leave and would prefer to sell or loan Argentine striker Luis Vazquez instead.”
