Earlier on Tuesday, we covered a report from Denmark that made it clear Celtic were going to struggle to sign Mathias Kvistgaarden.

The Brøndby striker has been a target for Brendan Rodgers to bolster his attack, and B.T. Spor reported that an offer of €4m had been rejected, which was followed by a second no when the Scottish side said they were ready to pay more.

That’s why the latest claim from TuttoMercatoWeb, labelled as an exclusive of theirs, regarding Celtic being ‘one step closer’ from signing Kvistgaarden is a big surprise.

They reveal that an ‘understanding’ between the two sides is now ‘very close’ after the Parkhead side ‘submitted an offer of around €5m’ to Brøndby to convince them.

That’s more than the previously reported DKK 35m (just over €4m) by B.T. Spor, but that also doesn’t sound enough to be life changing for the Superliga side, who had already told Celtic that a bigger offer would be turned down.

Down the player’s end, it’s said Kvistgaarden is ‘ready to change leagues’, suggesting he would be more than up for the move of challenging for titles in the green and white of the Glasgow side.

Something to keep an eye on, because these are two very contrasting stories.
