Hibs set Miguel Chaiwa asking price amid transfer interest from Celtic and Europe

Hibernian will demand a fee in excess of £4million before agreeing to sell coveted midfielder Miguel Chaiwa.

The 22-year-old Zambian is attracting interest from Europe, with clubs indicating a willingness to pay £3million for his services this summer.

The Easter Road side previously rejected a bid from Celtic in the January window. As Herald Sport reported in March, however, the Scottish champions retain an interest in the defensive midfielder and could return to the table if talks with Serie A Torino over Lithuanian midfielder Gvidas Ginetis reach a dead end.

Interest in Chaiwa has stemmed from mainland Europe so far and has failed to trigger a serious conversation with Hibs.

Currently in North Macedonia for the second leg of their Europa League Third qualifying round tie against Shkëndija, the Leith club are in no rush to offload a player signed from Swiss side Young Boys.

Under contract until May 2028, Chaiwa could still remain in Edinburgh another season if interested clubs fail to meet the valuation of the Gordon family, the club owners.

Hibs secured a club record fee of £6.5million from Hellas Verona for Scotland striker Kieron Bowie last January.
