Celtic move for Benjamin Tahirović collapses amid transfer confusion
Summary

Celtic's reported efforts to sign midfielder Benjamin Tahirović have fallen through, as sources in Denmark denied claims of an agreed transfer. Despite initial interest generated by Bosnian media, club officials from Brøndby expressed frustration over the speculation. While Tahirović, who played 25 matches last season and was active in the recent FIFA World Cup, is expected to leave Brøndby, Celtic is not seen as a likely destination. The club is now looking at alternative options to fulfill their midfield needs, particularly as depth in that area remains a concern.
