Celtic are reportedly set to open contract talks with Reo Hatate and Liel Abada.
It's claimed Brendan Rodgers is keen to tie down the pair on extended terms in Glasgow before the summer transfer window closes.
The Daily Record claims the duo have attracted transfer interest this window.
And Rodgers is now thought to be hopeful of sealing new improved terms with both players.
Celtic have already handed out new contracts to a host of first-team stars with Kyogo Furuhashi, Daizen Maeda and Callum McGregor committing their futures to the club.
It appears Hatate and Abada are next in line to be offered improved Celtic terms with agreements hoped to be reached before the window closes.
It comes as reports suggest Celtic could be without Hatate for the next month through injury.
The Japanese midfielder suffered what appeared to be a calf strain at Pittodrie on Sunday.
He was used as a second-half substitute in the Hoops' 3-1 win over Aberdeen, replacing David Turnbull at the break.
However, he failed to last the distance of the game after pulling up with an injury issue.
And the Daily Mail reports that the 25-year-old has sustained a grade two calf tear.
Their report states that he faces four weeks on the sidelines.
As a result, this puts the midfield ace's involvement in the upcoming derby against Rangers into doubt. The Glasgow giants will face off on September 3 at Ibrox.
