And, with Edouard keen to leave, negotiations will continue over the weekend.

Signed from Paris Saint Germain for £9m in August 2017, the 23-year-old has now entered the final year of his contract and would be free to speak to interested clubs about a pre-contract agreement from January.

PSG are due 40 per cent of any profit from Edouard’s sale, with Celtic keen to secure as close to £20m as possible.

Manager Ange Postecoglou has made it clear he won’t stand in the way of unhappy players

Omitted from the starting line-up for Thursday’s 4-2 win over Jablonec in the Europa League qualifier, the forward has failed to score in any of his four appearances so far this season. 

And, with talks under way, it’s unclear if he will play a part in Saturday’s home league visit of Dundee.

Manager Ange Postecoglou has made it clear he won’t stand in the way of unhappy players and will move to sign another striker if Edouard leaves next week.
