celtic Defender Mike Nawrocki has three transfer scenarios on the table ahead of what is likely to be a busy summer transfer window.

BILD Hamburg reports today on the 24-year-old And there are a variety of ways the summer transfer window could go for him.

Three options for Celtic

The newspaper reports that, after failing to reach the promotion play-offs, Hannover 96 will bid farewell to eleven players on Monday. But their squad planners are hoping for a quick reunion with some of them, ideally in time for pre-season.

Director Ralph Becker is prepared to have the necessary conversations in the coming days. Those conversations were put on hold in the race for promotion.

There is a ‘sudden glimmer of hope’ when it comes to the Celtic loanee. Mike Nawrocki has earned his place at the club with a number of strong performances.

Transfer deal expected

Earlier it was considered impossible to keep him without promotion. But hopefully this will not happen. According to BILD, there are three possible scenarios.

The first is for Celtic to bring him back and ‘fully back’ him with the promise of a clear playing route and regular game time.

The second is that Celtic do not decide to build around a defender. This would mean that they would open the door to a permanent exit. Several clubs in Europe’s top leagues are currently monitoring the situation. He is estimated to be worth €1.5m.

The third option is that Celtic decide not to sell and instead opt for another loan. If that had been the chosen path, Hanover would suddenly find itself with a strong chance of re-securing Nawrocki.

2. The Bundesliga is seen as a high-quality destination for the defender to continue his development. He would also be guaranteed a starting place in Hanover.

Decisions need to be made, but these scenarios are on the table. Hanover is waiting to see what happens, with a possible decision as early as next week.

AS Saint-Étienne are hoping watford To sign Pierre Acqua permanently in the summer.

The Ligue 2 side, following a poor run of results, allowed the midfielder to move on loan to Watford in the winter market.

In August 2024, he joined Saint-Étienne from Sunderland with an option to buy initially set at €7m. At the time, they were in Ligue 1, and had performed regularly in the previous season.

The French club dropped out of the top division but moved up nonetheless and made their stay permanent using the stream.

This clearly did not please the 24-year-old, who refused to train with Saint-Étienne. Last September, Sports Witness broadcast news He is considering terminating his contract unilaterally.

However, he did not make the move, allowing his parent club to loan him to the Championship team in February.

He waited several weeks to make his debut for the Hornets.

Two months ago, Sports Witness Covered claims from France It will take time for him to get minutes. Before moving to Vicarage Road, he last made a competitive appearance in May 2025.

The situation is improving in Watford

Pierre Acqua made his debut for the English club in a 2–0 league defeat to Ipswich Town in February. Since then, Edward Still has given him minutes and the player has begun to gain prominence in recent weeks.

His championship statistics are as follows:

• Appearances: 7
• Start: 3
• Total minutes: 280
• Minutes per game: 40

As a player continues to start more games toward the end of the season his average minutes will improve.

green peopleA website that dedicates its coverage to the French club has a report on a possible exit for the next window.

The former Sunderland man’s recent improvement at Watford has pleased Saint-Étienne. He is hoping to make his stay permanent by using Still’s €7m buyout clause.

If this happens, it would provide the ‘significant financial benefit’ that the French club is looking for.

Our Opinion: Hornets can request transfer waiver

As of now, it is unclear whether Watford want to retain Pierre Acqua and if they do, whether they are willing to pay €7m.

If the decision is made to retain the midfielder, the Hornets can certainly try to reduce the price.

It is known that he has no future at Saint-Étienne, and the Championship club could take advantage of this to bring down the final price. This will happen only if Watford decides to buy him.
