Celtic have reportedly rejected a bid from Italian side Torino for youth prospect Rocco Vata.
The forward has been the subject of interest from a number of clubs this summer but so far Celtic have knocked back all approaches for the 18-year-old.
And the Serie A team are the latest to have a bid knocked back, according to the Daily Record who state the Hoops were offered "£550,000 with significant add-ons" for the Republic of Ireland youth international.
Celtic turned down the approach despite Vata being said to be keen to explore the option.
The Lennoxtown academy graduate made a few appearances last season for the first-team after impressing with the B team.
However, he is yet to feature in the current campaign.
Meanwhile, new Celtic signing Nat Phillips has joked that Scotland captain and fellow Liverpool team-mate Andy Robertson was "jealous" when he heard the the defender was moving north of the border.
The 26-year-old has joined the Parkhead club on loan until January to give Brendan Rodgers' side some much-needed cover in the centre-back position after recent injuries to Cameron Carter-Vickers, Maik Nawrocki and Stephen Welsh.
And Phillips detailed how both Robertson and Virgil van Dijk reacted to the move.
"Andy was probably just as excited as I am. And I think, potentially, he was a little bit jealous because he loves it here," he told Celtic TV.
"And it was the same with Virgil van Dijk. He had a great time here, so I've heard nothing but good things."
The defender played a key role in the 2020/21 season when Liverpool had a defensive injury crisis of their own and he is hoping to play a similar role at Parkhead.
In particular, he opened up about his excitement at getting another opportunity to play in the Champions League.
He continued: "I'm really excited. When I heard about the interest it was one that got me excited. There were a few other options that didn't quite make me feel the same as this one did.
"So I was really keen to get it over the line and I'm delighted to be here now. We've had a few conversations since I've been here and they've gone really well.
