Celtic made a late attempt for Lazio’s Gustav Isaksen this summer. Brendan Rodgers’ side put forward an offer to sign him on loan with an obligation to buy.
The Denmark international wasn’t keen on joining Celtic and is still at the Serie A side. He made his first start of this season in his side’s 2-1 win over Hellas Verona on Monday.
Prior to this clash, Il Messaggero, relayed by La Lazio Siamo Noi, talked about Celtic’s bid. As well as Brendan Rodgers’ side, Feyenoord had sent a proposal to the winger.
Lazio and their manager, Marco Baroni, want to bank on the 23-year-old, after rejecting offers from both Celtic and the Eredivisie side.
The Biancocelesti have ‘total confidence’ in Isaken, who has made it clear that he wanted to continue at the club. It’s claimed the player has been ‘on the rise’ in recent weeks.
The attacker arrived at Lazio from FC Midtjylland in August 2023. He finished his debut season with three goals and four assists from 40 games.
Baroni and Lazio seem to be delighted Celtic weren’t able to snatch him away from them.
