Celtic transfer 'target' Mathias Kvistgaarden open to Brondby exit

Celtic transfer target Mathias Kvistgaarden admits he has thought about a move away from Brondby in the near future.

The Denmark Under-21 international - who has 10 goal contributions in 15 appearances this season - was on Brendan Rodgers' summer wishlist. 

Reports during the transfer window claimed that the Scottish champions had a £4m bid rejected for the striker.

It's believed that Rodgers will look to bolster his attack in January, as he aims to ease the burden on Kyogo to supply the team with goals on all fronts.

Kvistgaarden signed a contract until 2027 earlier this year, and it's understood Brondby is reluctant to let their homegrown talent go.

The 21-year-old previously branded Celtic a 'huge club' when asked about their interest during the summer.

Now, the striker has revealed that he's aware of several clubs who are keen on his signature.

He told Tipsbladet: "I'm, of course, thinking about the future, but right now, I'm keeping my focus on the present. We have many matches left in this season, but the goal is if I can produce as many good performances as possible, which will be able to help me in terms of my own future.

"There's no doubt that it's interesting. Big clubs were supposedly present there (Brøndby´s match against FC Nordsjælland). I would be lying if I said otherwise. But I don't want to dwell too much on such matters because I'm afraid it could divert my focus from the game on the field.

"It's hard to say which league suits me best. It varies depending on what people think and how they see me as a player in terms of where I belong. The Bundesliga is a great league, and it could be a fun place to play. But it also depends on the specific team and how they play."
