Celtic expresses interest in goalkeeper Nikolas Polster from Wolfsberger AC

Summary

Celtic is reportedly interested in signing 24-year-old goalkeeper Nikolas Polster from Wolfsberger AC. Polster is in the final year of his contract, which could force Wolfsberger into a difficult decision regarding his future. With seven clean sheets in 28 appearances during the 2025/26 Austrian Bundesliga season, Polster has attracted attention from various clubs, including Hertha Berlin, which has intensified discussions for a transfer. Celtic, following the retirement of Kasper Schmeichel, is assessing goalkeeper options but may reconsider pursuing Polster given the competition and the need for more experienced leadership in goal.
