Ange Postecoglou may only have to splash £16million to land Celtic striker Kyogo Furuhashi, according to reports.
The Japanese international is a wanted man after a stunning treble-winning campaign for the Hoops.
Kyogo has scored 54 goals across two seasons for Celtic and as a result his form has captured the attention of a number of European clubs.
After Postecoglou's move to Tottenham, Spurs have been heavily linked with a move for the striker, while reports today suggest Premier League newcomers Burnley are also interested.
In the report by the Mirror, they state that Celtic could be tempted to sell if £16million is offered for his services.
Some reports had suggested that the Scottish champions had whacked a £30million price tag on Kyogo, but it remains to be seen if they will sell for a lesser fee.
Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers is adamant Celtic are getting a better manager this time round than the one that won all seven domestic trophies available to him during his previous spell in Scotland.
The Northern Irishman returned to Parkhead on Monday, almost four and a half years after he left to take charge of Leicester.
In his time at the Foxes, he oversaw FA Cup glory in 2021 and back-to-back fifth-place finishes in the Premier League before things unravelled in his closing season, culminating in his sacking in April as they spiralled towards relegation.
Rodgers explained that his football philosophy remains largely unchanged since he was previously at Celtic but he feels he is returning as a more astute operator overall.
“In terms of how we play my teams always play with an attacking philosophy,” he said. “We always set out to win. That’s never changed. When my teams are at their best that’s what they do.
“I am a better manager than when I sat here seven years ago (at the start of his first spell) and certainly than four years ago.
“Experiences good and bad always help you, and that was the beauty of coming back here. It’s an amazing club and hopefully we can continue moving forward.”
