Celtic have opened discussions about a potential move for DAC Dunajská Streda winger Damir Redzic as they look to move ahead of Rangers in the race for his signature, according to TEAMtalk.
The Hoops have endured a turbulent season, cycling through multiple managers after Brendan Rodgers stepped down and Wilfried Nancy was dismissed following a short spell in charge. Martin O’Neill has since returned once again in an effort to steady the ship.
Despite the instability, Celtic remain intent on reinforcing their squad during the current window as they push for another league title, with attacking additions high on the list of priorities.
Celtic step up interest in Redzic
Redzic has quickly become a player of interest at Parkhead, especially after Celtic saw their pursuit of Jocelin Ta Bi fall apart before Sunderland stepped in. The 22 year old has drawn comparisons to Arjen Robben and has been praised for his power and directness, making him an attractive option for a side lacking pace and creativity.
Reports suggest Celtic have contacted Dunajská Streda to gather details on the financial requirements of a deal, including a possible transfer fee and the winger’s personal terms. However, they are not alone in tracking the Hungarian attacker.
Rangers are also monitoring Redzic’s situation and, while they have not yet made a formal approach, they are expected to act if another club pushes ahead. Any concrete move from Celtic could prompt a response from their Glasgow rivals.
Need for reinforcements growing
O’Neill has been open about the need for fresh faces, with the current squad struggling to meet expectations. So far, only Julian Araujo has arrived on loan, leaving Celtic short of the attacking boost they were hoping for.
Alongside interest in Chelsea striker David Datro Fofana, Redzic is viewed as a player who could provide speed and danger from the flanks. The deal is thought to be valued at around £4 million, and while Celtic may wait until later in the window to apply pressure, there is a growing sense that moving quickly could avoid unnecessary risk.
