Overview
- Reports published Monday say Engels has changed agents to DWMA and has signalled he wants to take the next step in his career.
- Italian clubs including AC Milan, plus Roma and Lazio, have been named as suitors while several Premier League teams are also monitoring the 22-year-old.
- No formal new offers have been lodged so far and Celtic previously rejected a roughly £25 million approach from Nottingham Forest in the January window.
- Celtic retain strong negotiating leverage because Engels is contracted until 2028, and outlets suggest the club will demand a fee at or above recent club sale records.
- Summer talks could determine whether Celtic keep a key creative midfielder for their Champions League plans or sell to fund squad changes while Engels seeks a step up in Europe.
