Toulouse’s Offer
Toulouse has officially submitted a bid of about €2m for Canadian midfielder Niko Sigur, the 22‑year‑old. The offer was made while the player was absent from Hajduk Split’s squad for the Osijek match due to a minor injury. The French club took the opportunity to formalise its interest.
Celtic’s Response
Celtic, which has long shown interest in Sigur, is closely monitoring the situation. Sources say the Scottish club could offer up to €2.9m – a figure that would already be close to Hajduk Split’s demands. The player, able to operate as a central midfielder or right back, would give manager Martin O’Neill an extra option while Alistair Johnston remains sidelined.
Player Context
Sigur is valued by Hajduk Split at between €3m and €4m. The sale can only be sanctioned after the second leg of the Conference League play‑off against Raków, scheduled for Thursday. The player must recover to take part in this tie. If the sale is approved after that match, Toulouse will need to adjust its offer to meet the Croatian club’s expectations.
Outlook
The €2m bid from Toulouse falls short of Hajduk Split’s expectations. Celtic, on the other hand, has a few days to negotiate, but must act quickly if Sigur remains the player they want. The match against Raków will take place on Thursday, and the final decision will hinge on the player’s recovery and the conference position.
