Overview
- Italian reports attributed to journalist Lorenzo Lepore say Lazio have begun talks with Celtic about signing midfielder Arne Engels in the next window.
- Celtic rejected bids from Nottingham Forest in January that were reported to reach about £25 million, with interim manager Martin O’Neill insisting only an exceptional offer would be considered.
- Coverage in Italy says a move could depend on Lazio head coach Maurizio Sarri’s job status and on whether Fisayo Dele-Bashiru leaves the club.
- Engels recently returned from a two‑month hamstring layoff and has rejoined Celtic’s starting group, which keeps him in view for clubs planning summer business.
- Nottingham Forest are reported to be weighing a renewed approach for the 22‑year‑old, though no agreement with any club has been reached.
