Slovan Bratislava chief Ivan Kmotrík has revealed there is still interest in long-term Celtic target David Strelec.
And he's admitted the Slovakian international could leave the club for less money than Celtic bid in the winter, with Middlesbrough also interested.
The Hoops and the player were disappointed when their reported offer of £7 million was rejected by the club in January because Slovan held out for £9 million, which never came.

Strelec made his anger clear by refusing to celebrate a goal he scored in the very next match and his father revealed his son was desperate to move to Glasgow.
But Slovan's chief executive Kmotrik has admitted the 24-year-old could get his wish to move in the summer.
He said: "We took a risk with David. In the summer, maybe a slightly lower offer will come, it can happen. "But David didn't leave in the winter because we weren't ready for it. The offers were very good, but the really interesting ones came at the last minute.
"We didn't have a transfer target to sign for the club that was ready, it would have been a patchwork move.
"Today, I can't rule out whether he will stay or leave. There is still interest in him.
"Compared to the winter, he will only be a few months older, his position has not deteriorated significantly. "Maybe the club will earn a little less, but he will be well prepared and will bring adequate compensation to the club."
