"I think the ship has sailed now for Celtic to have any chance of signing him. His price tag will have gone up quite a lot in recent weeks and months as well due to his success in the Champions League. Obviously, they will bank a lot of money from their success in Europe as well, so they're not under any pressure to sell the likes of Kasper Hogh."
"Celtic looked at him in January as they were looking for striking reinforcements, but I think obviously the success of Bodo/Glimt meant that they didn't want to entertain letting their forward go. They wanted to keep him for those Champions League playoffs, and obviously that move has paid off, because they pulled off a real shock result against Inter Milan to reach the last 16."
Celtic pursued Kasper Hogh in January but Bodo/Glimt refused to sell, prioritizing his presence for Champions League playoffs. Bodo/Glimt's shock victory against Inter Milan and subsequent progression to the last 16 generated substantial European revenue, eliminating financial pressure to sell. Hogh's impressive Champions League performances have significantly elevated his market value and attracted interest from larger clubs with bigger budgets. Bodo/Glimt can now offer Champions League football to retain their key players. Celtic's window to acquire Hogh has effectively closed, as his asking price has risen considerably and the Norwegian club faces no urgency to negotiate.
