Celtic's Goalkeeper Chase Hits Snag: Bids Rejected
15 Jul
Summary
- Celtic's two bids for goalkeeper Dinko Horkas were rejected.
- Las Palmas demands between €7m and €8m for the Croatian goalkeeper.
- Sevilla is also competing with Celtic for Horkas's signature.
Celtic's search for a new goalkeeper has been complicated as their attempts to sign Dinko Horkas have been met with rejection. The Scottish club has had two offers for the 27-year-old Croatian turned down by his current team, Las Palmas.
Las Palmas is holding firm on their valuation, demanding a fee between €7 million and €8 million. Horkas, who impressed last season with 14 clean sheets in Spain's second tier, has also given Las Palmas permission to negotiate with other clubs. This development comes as Sevilla has emerged as another interested party, intensifying the competition for the goalkeeper's signature.
With another goalkeeping target, Tjark Ernst, having moved elsewhere, Celtic is under pressure to secure Horkas. They may need to accelerate negotiations with both the player and Las Palmas to avoid missing out on this crucial summer signing.
