Malick Thiaw could go in the opposite direction to Christopher Jullien if a report in Italy is right.
Record Sport revealed earlier the French centre-back was heading to Germany to open negotiations with Schalke. It has been reported Jullien could go to the Bundesliga side on loan with an option to buy. It has also been claimed Celtic have triggered a one- year extension to his contract, which would deliver an increased transfer fee for the champions.
Now it has been stated Celtic have begun talks with Thiaw, a 20-year-old centre-back. Italian outlet Calciomercato claim Thiaw is in discussions with the Scottish Premiership champions. Liverpool and Everton were monitoring the defender in January while AC Milan were reportedly interested in the £8million-rated star earlier this week.
