“The forward has attracted attention from Parkhead over the past two transfer windows, with Brendan Rodgers showing interest in bolstering his attacking options.
“Brondby manager Jesper Sorensen indicated that despite hopes for changes in market conditions, Mathias Kvistgaarden’s transfer to Celtic didn’t materialize. However, he suggested that a potential deal might be reached in January. Sorensen has expressed willingness to consider a summer move for the Danish striker to the Scottish Premiership, acknowledging that he wouldn’t block the 21-year-old’s path. Kvistgaarden has been consistently targeted by Parkhead, with reports of a rejected bid exceeding £4 million during the previous summer transfer window.
“In January, Celtic reignited their interest, but encountered staunch resistance from Brondby, who were adamant about retaining all first-team players amidst their intense battle for the Danish Super League title against Copenhagen and Midtjylland. Consequently, Celtic redirected their focus towards securing Adam Idah on loan from Norwich City, providing Brendan Rodgers with the desired striker acquisition for the winter transfer window.
