Celtic target David Strelec looks set to end any hopes the Hoops have of capturing him in the summer after Slovan Bratislava revealed he's on the brink of a £9 million transfer elsewhere.
The Slovakian international was strongly linked with a move to the Scottish champions, but Slovan made it clear they wanted big money for the striker.
They were at pains to point out they weren't going to sell him last week, but have had a change of heart after increasing interest despite their hefty price tag.
And Slovan general director Ivan Kmotrik revealed he expects a deal to go through imminently, with plenty of countries including Turkey, Switzerland, Poland and Austria still having their transfer window open.

He said: "I have to say that there is a huge explosion of interest around David, the situation is changing from hour to hour.
"In the last two days, we have received an enormous number of offers.
"We are negotiating, discussing this topic, but nothing is closed. So I can't say yet how it will turn out.
"There are countries where the windows are still open.
"Negotiations were very close from clubs in a lot of countries.
"The offers are really too high for us to be able to approach it negatively in any way."
