Celtic Targets £2.6m Brann Midfielder Who Anticipates Summer Transfer

Felix Horn Myhre's position at SK Brann seems to be increasingly precarious, prompting Celtic to keep a close watch on the situation. The 27-year-old Norwegian international recently shared with Adresseavisen that he is looking forward to a potential transfer this summer, expressing a desire for a new adventure, though he insists he will only leave for the right opportunity.

Myhre remarked, "I want to try something new at some point, but not at any cost. If something exciting comes along, I might want to. If not, I’m fine here." He believes a transfer is likely, stating, "I actually expect it. I have to deal with it when it comes.” His current club's manager, Freyr Alexandersson, has acknowledged that the chances of keeping Myhre are "50/50," indicating he won't have the final say in any potential sale.

Celtic has been interested in Myhre since at least January 2026, alongside Danish team Brondby. However, Brann decided against allowing Myhre to leave mid-season after previously transferring three players. Additionally, Norway's national team manager has reportedly encouraged Myhre to elevate his game by moving to a higher level, which could bolster his chances of international selection.

Former Norway teammate Adam Larsen Kwarasey suggested that Myhre may prefer a move outside Scandinavia, which could make Celtic a more appealing option compared to Brondby, who had a £2.6m bid for him rejected in January. With Myhre consistently scoring over six goals each season in the Eliteserien, he possesses the box-to-box capabilities that Celtic has been missing.

Celtic must act swiftly to secure Myhre's signing. Callum McGregor bears a heavy load in the midfield, and the squad lacks a versatile player who can assist defensively while also contributing offensively. At 27, Myhre is at an ideal age to make an impact, and the reported fee of £2.6m is a reasonable investment for a player with proven performance and international experience.

Fans will remember the missed opportunities from previous transfer windows when hesitation cost them valuable signings. With Myhre openly anticipating a departure from Bergen, Celtic has a chance to secure Champions League football next season—an enticing offer that no other Scandinavian club can provide. It’s crucial that Celtic submits a solid offer promptly to avoid a bidding war that could drive the price up.
