CELTIC have been linked with Serie A double-act Gustav Isaksen and Matteo Cancellieri.
The attacking duo look to be on their way out at Lazio and the Hoops are showing interest, according to local sports media outlet Gazzeta Regionale.
Danish international Isaksen was mentioned with the Parkhead club two years ago, but the price tag of £12million proved to be an insurmountable stumbling block.
However, the Italian club will now listen to offers considerably lower for the versatile forward who joined them from FC Midtjylland in 2023.
The 25-year-old Dane usually plays wide right, but has also been utilised as a central striker throughout his career.
THE SEARCH GOES ON…Celtic managerial double-act Shaun Maloney and Martin O’Neill are seeking summer reinforcements.
He has scored 14 goals in his 121 appearances for Lazio, but has found himself surplus to requirements this summer and has been told he can find a new club.
The 16 times-capped star was a team-mate of Kasper Schmeichel in the Denmark team beaten 4-2 by Scotland in the dramatic World Cup qualifier at Hampden in November.
Isaksen, who has two years left on his deal, has struggled with injuries of late which will hasten his exit from the Stadio Olimpico.
It is also claimed Martin O’Neill is interested in his club colleague Matteo Cancellieri.
The adaptable Italian forward, who can play on both wings and on the left-hand side of the midfield, is a product of the Roma‘s youth system who made his breakthrough at Hellas Verona.
Cancellieri, 24, played mainly in the wide berths last season and netted four goals.
He joined the Rome-based club in August 2023 and has one year left on his contract.
Fiorentina, Parma and Torino plus Greek giants Olympiakos are also said to be tracking the £6million-rated frontman.
