Celtic renew interest in Hajduk Split midfielder Niko Sigur

Summary

Celtic FC has renewed its pursuit of Niko Sigur, a midfielder from Hajduk Split, as the club aims to enhance its midfield options. The 22-year-old Canada international was previously linked to Celtic but interest waned. Reports indicate that Sigur's impressive World Cup performance has put him back on Celtic's radar, necessitating a significant transfer fee for Hajduk to agree to a sale. Alongside Sigur, Celtic is exploring other midfield options, including Mika Baur and Gvidas Gineitis, amid potential departures of Reo Hatate and Arne Engels.
