Celtic have been linked with a move for the Legia Warsaw defender Josip Juranovic.
According to Sky Sports, the Scottish giants are now set to make their approach to sign the Croatian international this summer.
Initially, the Hoops wanted to sign Yan Couto from Manchester City but the Brazilian is not convinced about a move to Parkhead.
Celtic have now switched their attentions to Juranovic and his club are willing to listen to offers for the player this summer.
Apparently, the defender is valued at around £2.5 million and he is keen on a move to Celtic.

It is no secret that Celtic will have to improve defensively in order to challenge for the major honours this season and the signing of Juranovic could prove to be a wise decision.
The reported asking price could look like a bargain if the Croatian defender manages to adapt to Scottish football.
The 25-year-old has already established himself as an international for his country and he has the potential to succeed and the Scottish Premiership this season.
Celtic have already improved their defence with the signing of Carl Starfelt and the arrival of Juranovic will improve them further.
It remains to be seen whether the Hoops are prepared to pay the asking price and secure the defender’s services before the window closes.
