Mathias Kvistgaarden sees £4.1m Celtic transfer bid 'rejected' as Brondby name the bumper fee they won't budge on

Brondby have reportedly turned down a second bid for Mathias Kvistgaarden from Celtic.

Brendan Rodgers is facing a hectic end to the window as he looks to bolster the ranks of the Scottish Premiership champions before the transfer deadline with Luis Palma expected to arrive imminently from Aris. But the Honduras international is not the only forward being targeted with Danish outlet BT stating that a follow up offer of £4.1miillion has been rejected for the 21-year-old.

Kvistgaarden penned new terms with Brondby this year, with the star having a contract until 2027, and the Danish side are reportedly in no rush to sell the key asset. Brondby are reportedly confident they can get more than £4million for the attacker with a valuation closer to £6million expected to get a move to the Scottish champions over the line. It is noted that Houston Dynamo are also showing an interest this summer.

Both Celtic and the Major League Soccer side have reportedly been told that Kvistgaarden is not for sale unless the price tag is met. The forward has netted one goal in five games this term after enjoying his breakthrough campaign last term - netting nine goals in the Danish top flight and Europa Conference League.
