Celtic have opened talks with Elias Filet's agent and are reported to be favourites for the 24-year-old France attacker, currently at FC Aarau. This remains the concrete-interest stage rather than anything firmer: no agreement is in place, and the picture is complicated by other clubs circling for a player whose contract runs until 2027. A proposal and a video call have been mentioned, but Celtic have yet to push the conversation into advanced territory. The most credible voice here is BBC Sport, who place Celtic as favourites — though their report is an echo of another outlet rather than original reporting, which dilutes its weight. Sacha Tavolieri, a reliable transfer source, corroborates the concrete interest and the proposal and video call. So the sourcing is solid in tone but thin on substance: two voices agreeing there is interest, neither confirming a deal. The 15% figure marks this as a longshot. It reflects genuine, named interest from a serious club, but everything beyond that is missing: no fee agreed, no agreement with the player, and rival suitors who could win the race. For the number to climb, Celtic would need to convert talks with the agent into a firm bid and fend off the competition. As it stands, interest is cheap and commitment is absent. The money would be modest by Celtic's standards. They have spent far more on attacking talent — Benfica to Celtic for £14m in 2022, and Augsburg to Celtic for £11m in 2024 — so a player valued around £1m sits well within their comfort. Watch for Celtic to firm interest into an actual bid, and whether their rivals move first.
