Rumoured £6m Price Tag Slapped on Celtic Target

Aberdeen’s Bojan Miovski is at the centre of intense transfer speculation as the January window approaches, with both Celtic and Southampton showing interest in the prolific striker.

As Celtic eyes a potential reinforcement to their front line, particularly in light of Kyogo and Oh’s temporary departure for the Asia Cup, Miovski’s impressive tally of 14 goals this season for Aberdeen has made him a hot commodity.

While Celtic is reportedly keen on securing Miovski’s services to bolster their attack during the crucial period, the club is cautious about the financial implications. SunSport has highlighted Southampton’s emerging interest in the Aberdeen frontman, potentially complicating Celtic’s pursuit.

With a valuation rumoured around £6 million, the cost is a significant factor for Celtic, who are unlikely to engage in a bidding war for the Macedonian international.

Southampton’s financial advantage, courtesy of the parachute payment following their relegation from the Premier League, puts them in a strong position to meet Aberdeen’s high valuation.

The Championship side, under the guidance of former Scotland international Russell Martin and with ex-Pittodrie head of recruitment Darren Mowbray, who has prior knowledge of Miovski from his time in Hungary, seems well-placed to make a compelling offer.

For Aberdeen, losing a key player like Miovski to a Premiership rival is not ideal, and they are expected to demand a hefty fee for their star striker.

The Dons are bracing for a battle to keep him, aware that his departure would leave a significant gap in their squad.

As the transfer saga unfolds, Celtic must weigh their urgent need for a striker against the financial realities of competing with a well-resourced club like Southampton.

With the transfer window opening soon, all eyes will be on Miovski, Aberdeen, and the interested clubs to see where the striker will land. Celtic’s next moves will be crucial in shaping their squad for the remainder of the season.
