Fausto Vera puts Celtic on transfer red alert as Corinthians and Genk see bids 'booted out'

Celtic appear to have been given a major boost in their hopes of landing Fausto Vera as reports claim Corinthians and Genk have had the door slammed in their face. The 22-year-old playmaker has recently emerged as one of the Hoops' top midfield targets with Vinicius Souza joining Espanyol.

He's been one of Argentinos Juniors' top performers in recent seasons but, with 18 months left on his deal, a number of clubs in Europe and South America are hopeful of getting a deal done. Earlier today it appeared Ange Postecoglou 's hopes of bringing him in had been dealt a major blow, with Brazilian side Corinthians and Belgium's Genk both formalising their interest.

However new reports in Brazil suggest all is not as it seems. According to Lance , the bids on the table are in the region of €4m (£3.4m), and have been shown the door by Argentinos.
