Celtic interested in signing World Cup standout Ermin Mahmic

Celtic has expressed interest in 21-year-old Ermin Mahmic following his impressive performance at the FIFA World Cup 2026, where he scored two goals for Bosnia and Herzegovina. The club has reportedly entered a new phase in negotiations by inquiring about Mahmic's wage demands and transfer fee from his current club, Slovan Liberec. With growing interest from other clubs, including Besiktas and Toulouse, Mahmic remains a highly sought-after player after setting a record as Bosnia and Herzegovina's all-time leading World Cup goalscorer. The potential transfer could break the Czech outgoing record, currently held at £5.9 million. Celtic is actively searching for a midfielder after recent signings, indicating they are considering multiple options for this position.
