Celtic’s talented midfielder Arne Engels has emerged as one of the most sought-after players in Europe after a standout campaign in Glasgow. The Belgian playmaker, who played a crucial role in helping the Hoops clinch a domestic Double, has drawn strong interest from several Premier League and Serie A clubs.

Top European clubs are now eyeing Engels, with speculation mounting that the 22-year-old could be set to leave Parkhead. His consistent performances throughout the season have made him a prime target for teams looking to strengthen their midfield options ahead of the upcoming season.

In a recent development, Engels switched his representation to the DWMA agency, a move widely interpreted as a sign that he is preparing for the next phase of his career following his successful spell in the Scottish Premiership.

Transfer specialist Sacha Tavolieri has reported that AC Milan have already expressed their interest to the player’s new representatives. Although a formal offer has not yet been made to Celtic, the Italian giants are closely monitoring the situation as they look to reinforce their squad for the next campaign.

The interest is not limited to Serie A, with multiple Premier League clubs also keeping close tabs on the Belgian international. Nottingham Forest, in particular, have been long-time admirers and reportedly had three bids turned down during the January transfer window, including a final offer believed to be around £25 million.

With the summer transfer window now open, several English clubs are expected to revisit their pursuit of the Belgian midfielder.

Despite the growing attention, Celtic remain in a strong position in any potential negotiations. Engels is currently under contract with the Scottish champions until 2028, meaning the club faces no immediate financial pressure to sell one of their key assets.

Given his impact since joining the club, Celtic would likely demand a substantial fee before even considering letting him go. The club’s management has consistently demonstrated a willingness to hold out for maximum market value when top performers draw interest from Europe’s wealthiest leagues.

Transfer expert Tavolieri has also indicated that Engels, now represented by DWMA, intends to continue his journey with Celtic for the time being. However, as the summer progresses, the club faces a crucial decision — whether to cash in on the young midfielder or build their Champions League aspirations around him. With recruitment efforts already underway to identify new midfield options, the coming weeks will determine if Engels remains the driving force in the Hoops’ midfield or becomes their next major transfer success story.
