Celtic have reportedly set the asking price that would persuade them to part with in-demand Arne Engels this summer.

Engels is still on the radar of Nottingham Forest after they made bids of £14 million, £17m and finally £25m in January, but saw them all rejected by the Parkhead club who wanted to hang onto him for the title run-in, which paid off.

He is also reportedly wanted by a host of other clubs in England and abroad, including Serie A giants AS Roma.

Football Italia is now reporting Roma have been quoted an asking price of £26m.

That would see the Belgian becoming Celtic's record sale, topping the £25m paid by Brighton for Matt O'Riley.

It would also vindicate the record fee of £11m splashed out to bring Engels from Augsburg two years ago.
