Franko Kovačević, born on 8 August 1999 (age 26), is a Croatian striker with Ferencvaros. His current market value is around £1m, according to Transfermarkt.
His sharpest league return came at Celje in 2025–2026, when he scored 11 goals in 14 appearances. That is the sort of output that tends to travel better on paper than in reality, but it was still a clear productive spell and put him in the usual orbit of clubs looking for a forward.
He was linked with Celtic in January 2026 as a possible incoming target while at Ferencvaros. In 2026–2027, he has made one Nemzeti Bajnokság I appearance and three Europa League appearances for the Hungarian club, with four appearances in total across all competitions.
Kovačević’s career to this point is that of a centre-forward who has had one notably efficient scoring run and is now trying to establish himself at Ferencvaros. The Celtic link sits as part of that wider profile, not the story itself.
