Kasper Høgh's £11 million Celtic transfer brings £57,000 solidarity payout to Vorup FB
Kasper Høgh, a 25‑year‑old Denmark international forward, completed an £11 million transfer (plus add‑ons) from Norwegian club Bodo/Glimt to Scottish champions Celtic, making him one of Celtic’s most expensive signings.
Under FIFA’s solidarity payment system, Vorup FB – the Danish fifth‑tier club where Høgh spent nine years as a youth – is entitled to about £57,000 from the deal. Vorup manager Thomas Pedersen said the money will be reinvested in youth and grassroots activities and will not be used to buy players. Former Norwegian international Vidar Riseth estimated Høgh’s market value at £16‑20 million.
