Celtic are interested in a deal to sign Red Star Belgrade central defender Srdan Babic in the summer.
According to Sport Serbia, via OneFootball, Celtic are one of a number of clubs keen on signing Babic at the end of the season.
The centre-back has been in excellent form for Red Star this season and gained a reputation after putting in impressive performances against Napoli and Liverpool in the Champions League earlier in the campaign.
The report claims that Red Star will demand a fee as high as €7m for the defender, with Nice, Feyenoord and Ajax also said to be showing an interest.
It is said that Babic could potentially be a replacement for Boyata, who is out of contract in the summer and yet to sign a new deal.
Filip Benkovic, who is on loan to Celtic, is also set to return to Leicester to play in the Premier League under Brendan Rodgers.
