Admired Josip Juranovic is wanted by Spanish heavyweights Atletico Madrid, according to a report.
The 26-year-old was a smash hit during his debut season with Celtic as he played a key role in the side that secured Scottish Premiership title glory. A report from Fabrizio Romano last week that Juranovic would leave Ange Postecoglou 's side this summer was played down in Croatia.
But Sky Sports state Juranovic is coveted by Diego Simeone as Atleti looked to bolster their full-back options. Celtic are in no rush to sell one of their top performers and the player is relaxed over his future as he gets set for a Champions League tilt with his current club. Juranovic is first choice for his country and guaranteed football at Parkhead remains a key point with the World Cup less than six months away. But it's understood Atleti's interest is firm for a player Celtic are in no rush to sell.
Elsewhere, Celtic linked Taylor Harwood-Bellis has been heralded by Vincent Kompany amid interest from Burnley.
The new Clarets boss worked with the Manchester City rising start at Anderlecht.
Celtic were named as potential suitors last month.
Kompany said: "Taylor, first of all, is a great lad and player. A leader and someone I have a lot of time for so we will see."
Meanwhile, the race to land Vinicius is set to see a suitor pull up as Fenerbahce explore other midfield options.
The £5m-rated Lommel star is currently training at Manchester City but he has serious interest from Celtic, as well well as Dutch giants Ajax and PSV Eindhoven.
