Overview
- Multiple reports on Friday say Celtic have submitted an offer close to £3.5m for 27‑year‑old Dinko Horkas, a bid that has been framed by some outlets as making them favourites to sign him.
- Horkas has been Las Palmas’ first‑choice goalkeeper since April 2025 and made 43 appearances with 14 clean sheets in the 2025–26 season, with season metrics cited by Fotmob showing a roughly 72% save rate and under 1.0 goals conceded per 90.
- Las Palmas are reported to have Horkas under contract until summer 2028 and to value him nearer £6m, creating a clear gap between the clubs’ publicly reported figures that could complicate talks.
- Other clubs, including Olympiacos and Sevilla, have been linked to Horkas in recent coverage and several claims stem from single reporters or local sources, so the transfer remains unconfirmed by either club.
- If negotiations progress the move would directly shape Celtic’s goalkeeping plans after Kasper Schmeichel’s departure by putting a younger, contestable option into the squad and could affect playing time for current keepers such as Viljami Sinisalo and Ross Doohan.
