Celtic are in the market for new additions this window and Brendan Rodgers will be keen to sanction deals during pre-season.

Fans have become a little impatient as the wait for signings continues to drag on; nevertheless, it appears that movement on the horizon is a certainty in the next week or two.

Peter Vindahl Jensen is said to be the number one target to succeed Joe Hart between the sticks at Celtic, with both parties still negotiating over a potential agreement.

Meanwhile, Adam Idah and Paulo Bernardo remain in dialogue amid Rodgers’ desire to have both of his former loanees back at Parkhead.

Fresh developments indicate that Celtic have sounded out a midfielder, although there could be a caveat in this story.

Celtic have monitored Polish midfielder Jakub Kaluzinski

According to Football Scotland, Celtic have kept tabs on Antalyaspor midfielder Jakub Kaluzinski this summer, with the Poland international said to be valued at £3.5 million.

Nevertheless, contact is believed to have stalled between those concerned. The outlet state that lines of communication have been silent for around a week, so it remains to be seen where this development may lead.

There are also claims that interest from La Liga outfit Real Valladolid has resulted in a bid being made for his services, according to prominent Turkish journalist Yagız Sabuncuoglu on X. This is alluded to in the report but not directly mentioned.

Kaluzinski is predominantly a defensive midfielder and made 31 appearances in the Super Lig last term, registering two assists in total [Transfermarkt].

Information concerning Celtic targets will regularly crop up in the next few weeks and, at least at one point this summer, Kaluzinski appears to have been on the Hoops’ radar. Whether anything else comes from this remains to be seen.
