Celtic have been linked with a move for Atletico Madrid striker Fernando Torres.
According to Spanish outlet AS, via TeamTalk, Celtic and Newcastle could be set to battle it out for Torres this summer.
The report claims that Torres has already confirmed his intentions for the summer. Torres has admitted that he will be leaving Atletico at the end of the season.
This opens the door for Celtic to swoop in and snap up the former Liverpool and Chelsea striker.
Torres was rated as one of the best strikers in Europe during his days with Liverpool, before a £50m move to Chelsea.
However, he failed to make the desired impact at Chelsea, and ended up moving to a number of clubs before settling back at Atletico – where he started his career.
Celtic would face a struggle to sign him if Newcastle were to make a move, with the allure of Premier League football and wages.
