Celtic have been told their pursuit of Sydney van Hooijdonk is going nowhere as Bologna 'blocked' a summer move. The striker was touted as a target of the Scottish champions, with the added spice that the Dutch attacker is the son of former Celtic favourite Pierre.
The asking price for the 23-year-old was reportedly set at around £4.2million, with Brendan Rodgers’ side in the hunt for a new centre-forward with Mathias Kvistgaarden also linked throughout the summer window.
But interest from Celtic, Crystal Palace, Brentford and Wolfsburg has all been blocked by the Serie A side, according to Sky Sports.
van Hooijdonk had been considering transfer options this window according to reports, after finding the back of the net 19 times on loan at Dutch side Heerenveen last campaign.
