Journalist Mark Hendry reports that a transfer fee has been agreed between Celtic and European giants. His sources suggest the deal is valued at approximately €2 million — around £1.7 million — Personal Terms fine-tuning left before the transfer can be completed ahead of the new season

Celtic have made notable progress in their pursuit of Benji Nygren, it’s understood, marking a significant advancement for the club.

Journalist Mark Hendry broke the news on Celtsarehere, disclosing that Celtic had submitted a formal request to FC Nordsjælland for permission to negotiate with the 23-year-old Swedish playmaker last week.

Mark now reports that a transfer fee has been settled between Celtic and Nordsjælland. His sources indicate the agreement is valued at roughly €2 million — approximately £1.7 million.

FINE-TUNING PERSONAL TERMS
With the clubs aligned, the only remaining task is for Celtic and Nygren’s representatives to hammer out the final details.

A reliable source has confirmed that personal terms are the only unresolved issue, and those particulars need to be finalized before the transfer can be concluded ahead of the upcoming season.

Nygren has demonstrated his adaptability during his tenure at Nordsjælland, playing both on the wings and in central roles. However, he shone brightest as a traditional No.10. His knack for creating opportunities, clever movement between the lines, and clinical finishing make him a compelling addition.

The timing of this transfer suits all involved. Nygren had just six months remaining on his contract, meaning Nordsjælland faced the prospect of losing him for free next summer. Given these circumstances, securing a deal before his contract expired was logical for both the selling club and Celtic.
