Celtic are said to have been offered £15 million for Szymon Wlodarczyk.
The striker joined Sturm Graz from Gornik Zabreze in the summer for around £2 million, but his value appears to have skyrocketed, according to Football Scotland.
Wlodarczyk, who has 11 caps and five goals for Poland’s under-21 team, has five league goals in 17 Austrian League appearances and is under contract until 2027.
Football Scotland reports, tucked away at the bottom of an article about Mathias Kvistgaarden:
Football Scotland may also disclose Celtic approached Sturm Graz in an attempt to re-sign another former transfer target, Szymon Wlodarczyk, but were told that his valuation has risen to around £15 million, which is financially out of their reach.
Celtic are looking to form a partnership with Admira Wacker of Austria’s Second Division, where Tobi Oluwayemi and Matthew Anderson are currently on loan.
That deal should provide strong scouting information on Austrian football, but at £15 million, Wlodarczyk is out of reach for Celtic, with the £9 million signing of Odsonne Edouard from Paris Saint-Germain in 2019 setting a new record fee.
While Wlodarczyk was moving from Poland to Austria, Celtic paid £4.2 million to sign Legia Warsaw’s Maik Nawrocki.
