# Celtic: Gorica name their price for Hoops target Kristijan Lovric

**Celtic have been told that they’ll need to pay £4.2m in order to land free-scoring HNK Gorica winger Kristijan Lovric, according to the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9824309/Brighton-make-20m-Celtic-striker-Osdonne-Edouard-face-competition-Palace.html).**

### The Lowdown: Celtic look to acquire main targets ahead of 2021/22

With their 2021/22 season now underway, new Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou will be keen to quickly formalise his preferred targets in order to provide him with a squad capable of reclaiming the Premiership crown this term.

The Hoops have already invested in the left-wing berth with the signing of Japan international [Kyogo Furuhashi](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57860716), and they have now been quoted with how much they will need to pay if they are to land another player in this position.

### The Verdict: Lovric would be a good fit for Celtic

Capable of scoring and creating regularly, signing Lovric would represent savvy business by the Celtic hierarchy ahead of a crucial season.

He enjoyed a very productive 2020/21 campaign for Gorica, registering 25 goal contributions in 32 fixtures with 18 goals and seven assists \[[Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kristijan-lovric/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/294401/plus/0?saison=2020&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=)\]. Able to fashion chances from situations of little goalscoring probability, he has gained a reputation as a match-winner due to his [distinctive qualities](https://totalfootballanalysis.com/player-analysis/kristijan-lovric-202021-scout-report-tactical-analysis-tactics).

The Celts should look to edge ahead in the chase for his signature before more clubs become aware of his potential availability.
