Four days ago, Fussball Transfers reported SC Heerenveen and KV Mechelen are keen on signing Celtic’s Gustaf Lagerbielke. It was also stated Brendan Rodgers’s side will let him leave this summer.
A day later, Heerenveen general manager Ferry de Haan revealed that his side are hopeful of securing the defender’s services.
Saturday’s edition Gazet van Antwerpen claims the Belgian club are still in the battle to sign the Celtic man.
Mechelen and the Eredivisie side want to offer the 24-year-old an escape route before the window closes.
Gazet van Antwerpen claim Lagerbielke is the ‘important option’ for the Jupiler Pro League side to bolster their defence. Therefore, they are pushing to ‘poach’ him from Celtic.
Heerenveen are set to provide competition, but the newspaper claims Mechelen seem to have ‘high hopes’ of acquiring the Swede’s signature.
It’s not made clear whether Mechelen are looking to sign the Celtic player on loan or via a permanent transfer.
