Celtic are reportedly close to signing Mario Vuskovic this summer.
According to reports from Sportske, Vuskovic is gearing himself up for a move to Parkhead this summer.

The 19-year-old exciting talent has been left out of Hadjuk Split’s friendly against NK Odranci, although the reason for his absence was stated down to rest.
However, the 19-year-old is now preparing a move to Celtic. The new Bhoys boss Ange Postecoglou is keen to bolster his back-line ahead of the Champions League qualifier against Midtjylland.
Serie A outfit Torino are also keen to secure his services but it seems Celtic have moved ahead in the race.
The Bhoys are also looking to secure a deal for their long-term target and former Parkhead academy star Aaron Hickey.
