According to AI projections, Celtic may pursue three transfer targets.
Celtic still have opportunity to make any late acquisitions this summer as they look to win another Scottish Premiership title.

The Hoops have been more cautious with their expenditure this transfer window, but they are still hoping to bring fresh players in before the deadline.

As Celtic fans await to see who else may walk through the door, we decided to ask AI for a list of top targets the Scottish champions may bring in before the window closes.

Celtic connected to new forwards.

Odonne Edouard

Celtic had been connected with an Odsonne Edouard reunion earlier this season, but his difficult time with Crystal Palace appears to be coming to an end. The striker has not appeared in a first-team game since November, and he has been informed that he is not in the Eagles’ future plans.

When reports surfaced at the beginning of the month that Edouard was on his way to Girona, any links to Celtic were dismissed. However, things have gone quiet, and the 27-year-old is still on the books at Selhurst Park.

AI explanation: “Edouard, a former Celtic icon who scored 86 goals in 179 games between 2017 and 2021, is now available after Palace placed him on the market. His established goal-scoring record in Scotland (including trebles and Champions League experience) would make him a solid striker partner or alternative, meeting the requirement for a clinical finisher in an attacking environment with variable production. At an estimated £5-7 million, he represents low-risk familiarity with Rodgers’ system, with the chance to rediscover his form in a friendly atmosphere.

Jakob Breum

Celtic attempted to sign Jakob Breum from Go Ahead Eagles this summer, but Rangers’ success in acquiring Oliver Antman could put an end to the talks.

When comparing his negotiations with both Glasgow giants, club sporting director Jan Willem van Dop stated: “There was some interest from Celtic for Jakob Breum, but we felt the gap was too wide.” Things progressed rapidly with Oliver Antman and Glasgow Rangers. Celtic may have learnt from the Rangers, hehe.”

AI explanation: “The Danish under-21 international has impressed in the Eredivisie with pace, dribbling, and mobility across both wings, scoring four goals and providing five assists last season.

“Breum would provide width and creativity, complementing Rodgers’ high-pressing style. His youth positions him as a long-term investment in European difficulties.

Liverpool emerging star is considered for Celtic.

Stefan Bajcetic has struggled with his fitness in recent years. The Spanish midfielder was once tipped to be a future Liverpool star, but he has only made 22 Premier League games across all competitions since his senior debut in 2022.

Bajcetic recently returned from a loan spell with Las Palmas and could be sent out on another temporary stay for the 2025/25 season.

AI explanation: “The Spanish youth international is recovering from injuries and requires consistent minutes to grow. A loan deal would provide midfield backup for Callum McGregor, addressing depth concerns in a position prone to tiredness over a demanding calendar (Premier League, cups, and Champions League). Bajcetic’s ball-winning abilities, passing range, and Premier League experience make him an excellent rotating player.”
