Celtic is closely monitoring the World Cup for potential transfer targets, with Ivan Basic emerging as a key focus for the club. The Hoops are looking to bolster their midfield options ahead of the new season, and Basic, who plays for Astana in Kazakhstan, is reportedly on the radar of manager Martin O'Neill. As the transfer window opens, Celtic has yet to finalize any signings, but interest in Basic and his international teammate Benjamin Tahirovic suggests an ambitious double swoop could be in the works. Both players featured prominently in Bosnia and Herzegovina's opening match against Canada, showcasing their skills in a midfield partnership. Basic, 24, is seen as a more reserved option compared to Tahirovic, making him an appealing choice for Celtic's tactical needs. With limited options currently available in the midfield, Celtic is eager to strengthen this area, especially with potential departures looming for key players like Reo Hatate. As Bosnia prepares to face Switzerland, Celtic will be watching closely, hoping to secure a deal for Basic and enhance their squad for the challenges ahead.
