Bojan Miovski has 'invaluable' Aberdeen transfer tag amid Celtic swirls as suitors told why exit is a pipe dream

Bojan Miovski is a priceless Aberdeen asset - and that makes him a tough deal for clubs like Celtic to negotiate over.

The striker has the champions reportedly circling him while Southampton are another club linked with him. He has been Barry Robson's go-to man for goals this season and will not be sold on the cheap, with any interested parties needing to stump up big for him.

Pittodrie legend Joe Harper has this notion due to the strong north-east coffers amid a financially-lucrative Europa Conference League group stage journey. More importantly, Miovski has an invaluable tag, that should put mean any deal would need the boat pushed far out. He told Press and Journal: "When the January transfer window opens there will inevitably be interest in the Dons’ leading goal-scorer Bojan Miovski. Celtic and English Championship Southampton have already been linked with the 24-year-old and I’m sure more clubs will follow.

"However, the key factor is that Aberdeen do not have to sell Miovski next month. He is on a long-term contract until summer 2026, so the Dons are very much in the driving seat.

"North Macedonian international Miovski has already netted 14 goals in all competitions this season. That follows up from his 18 goals last term.

"This season Miovski has also proven he can score in Europe with goals against Hacken, HJK Helsinki and PAOK. That will also have alerted clubs as to the striker’s quality. Miovski is invaluable to Aberdeen.

"Ultimately every player has a price – but the Reds are in a strong position as there are no factors forcing them to sell. The fee has to be right for Aberdeen to sell Miovski, and hopefully he will stay at Pittodrie."
