Celtic receive €2m transfer offer for forgotten player
The Swedish defender arrived at Celtic Park just two summers ago during Brendan Rodgers' first season back at the club.
However, after featuring in some of his early games, it became clear the Northern Irishman did not favour the centre-back.
Injuries prevented him from being able to kick on in Glasgow.
But he was subsequently farmed out on loan to FC Twente in 2024.
Now, with three years remaining on his contract, Fabrizio Romano reports that Braga have offered just €2m for his services.

The 25-year-old cost the Hoops £3m in 2023, so if a deal was to go through, this would represent a rare financial loss in the market for the Scottish Premiership champions.
He wrote on X: "SC Braga have sent an official bid worth €2m for Gustaf Lagerbielke to Celtic, negotiations ongoing.
"The player's keen on the move."

'What's not to get excited about?' - your views on 'real deal' Nygren
We asked you for your views after Benjamin Nygren signed a five-year deal with what some of you said:Gordy: A good signing and hopefully just the start - we need cover all over the pitch. Centre back, right and left-back cover is essential and a goal-scoring centre forward, while holding onto to what we have, unless a massive offer comes in that will help buy other players. We need to show more ambition in the transfer market this season to be successful at home and in Nygren scored a hat-trick against Fenerbahce in Europe, and is obviously a very good What's not to get excited about? Another Scandinavian with a clear determination to advance his career and full of positivity. I've seen him play for Sweden and he has bags of energy and drive. Almost looks like he's a mini Daizen, but let's not burden the boy with too much The signing of Nygren could turn out to be a very shrewd piece of business. He appears to be a player on an upward path and with the guidance of Brendan Rodgers, we can hopefully continue his progression. If we can get two/three good seasons out of him then we could end up with a £30m+ asset. Either way it certainly looks like £1.5m well Nygren looks like the real deal. It's difficult to make one's mind up based on highlight reels, right enough. He is saying the right things in the media, regarding his winning mentality, his experience and what he thinks will be expected of him while wearing the hoops. I just hope he has the longevity to do it season after season, on a cold wet Wednesday night in the north east of Scotland!

It's been a good break, we've had time to reset, relax, get refreshed again, and the boys have come in this morning in pretty good shape and excited for what's ahead. Read more: "There are challenges in terms of the physical aspect, the demand of the game. We all know nowadays it's huge, the physical outputs. Plus, the number of games that they go through. "The guys were terrific last year. The way it finished kind of took the shine off it a little bit, but once the dust settles, and you reflect on how everything went, the guys were superb. "They put everything into it, okay, just came up short in the [Scottish Cup] final, but the way we performed in the league, the league cup earlier in the season, the Champions League stuff, we can look back on that and take a lot of positives, and be positive going innto this season again. "It's good for them to reflect on that, but get a chance to switch off, let the legs recover, let the mind recover, and come in with the same hunger and desire to be successful again because that's what the club demands. There's no let-up."
