Celtic first-team trio Boli Bolingoli, Albian Ajeti and Ismaila Soro have all been deemed surplus to requirements ahead of the new season, according to a report.
Ange Postecoglou started his rebuild at the Hoops last summer bringing in the likes of Kyogo Furuhashi, Joe Hart, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Jota, Reo Hatate and Josip Juranovic as the Parkhead side went on to win the Premiership title from Rangers and secure the Premier Sports Cup in the stunning debut campaign for the Aussie boss.
Things are no different this summer as he continues to strengthen his pack ahead of a crack at the Champions League. Benjamin Siegrist and Alexandro Bernabei have both signed on the dotted line while Carter-Vickers' loan deal has been made permanent with fans' favourite Jota set to follow in the coming days. Christopher Jullien is heading the other way with the Frenchman set to depart with his contract entering the final 12 months.
Schalke looked in pole position to land the stopper but the move broke down over personal terms and Celtic are now looking at other options to find a solution for the 29-year-old.
