Josip Juranovic is now on the radar of English Premier League side Southampton, according to reports, but Ange Postecoglou revisited his 'nothing happening' claim.
The Celtic defender has garnered big transfer interest in recent months with first links to the likes of Atletico Madrid, Chelsea and Barcelona sprouting up last year before contract talks in Glasgow came to a halt. The 27-year-old has a lengthy deal at Parkhead after penning his arrival from Legia Warsaw in the summer of 2021 for around £2.5m.
Now the Croatian World Cup star, according to Sky Sports News, is the subject of interest from the Saints who have previously shown scouting intent over Parkhead wingers Daizen Maeda and Liel Abada.

Reporter Lyall Thomas claims Nathan Jones' men are looking at the right-back position due to an injury by Tino Livramento in recent weeks. It appears, however, the Saints may also be considering other targets such as Luton Town's James Bree and Djed Spence from Tottenham Hotspur.
Meanwhile Postecoglou addressed again the links with Juranovic's exit and that of striker Giorgos Giakoumakis who has been linked with a move to MLS outfit Atalanta United and optimistic J-League outfit Uwara Red Diamonds. He said in his media conference on Tuesday: “As I sit here right now, no one is leaving and no one is coming in.
"There's always going to be speculation around the place but from my perspective there's nothing that is definite that is happening."
